Availability of Manual Transmission

Haha, good luck with that.
In all of 2010 there were only 945 H3T's ever produced... 849 of which were part of a rental fleet order and most likely all automatic. That leaves approximately 48 alpha's (which are V8 and no manual) and 48 base and adventure packages with the 5cylinder engine.
If you take into account that less than 4% of all H3T's with 5 cylinders were equipped with a manual transmission... that means there are approximately (2) two 2010's with manual transmissions out there somewhere (Canada or the US). Now that, is seriously rare.
In total if you follow the approximate breakdowns there is only approximately 56 H3T's in all of Canada and the US. So even getting your hands on a 2009 is going to be a challenge!

Good Luck with finding a 2010 Manual H3T! Like Sugar said above we don't even know if they made; Any or 1 or 2 the entire 2010 H3T production.
Is there any special reason you want a 5 speed manual H3T? We have an 09 (I love it) and I was just wondering what your motovation was. My wife wants an Alpha Automatic now due to rush-hour traffic everyday so It may be up for sale coming up.

From what I heard there were roughly 11 H3T 5 speed Adventures made with the "special" transfer case. I have a 2009 H3T 5 speed Adventure pkg, factory nav, backup cam, bluetooth, tow pkg, bed cover, brush guard on the black steel wheels. I added K&N intake, ported TB, Rocky Road rails, Hunner skids, Bilstein 5100's,trailduty bumpstops, Readylift 3" keys/shackles. Workin a couple other things for it now!

IMHO - manual for strictly road driving, auto for offroad. I do not like wheeling with a manual. However, I have seen a white I-5 H3t with manual and I believe Adventure package that was clearly setup for wheeling. As rare as manuals are, I have only seen 4 H3Ts in person, including mine, and one was a manual and another was an Alpha.
