How hard is it to do an auto to 5-spd swap? I'm only asking because I found a really clean shell but it's auto haha. I'm not willing to give up my manual transmission. Thanks guys.

 

its a pain in the ass lol

 

Check the wiki and threads over on 2GNT. There is a full write up.

 

good think i'm always use to the car being down haha i'll have plenty of time to do it haha


I'll go check it out now. Thanks Dave

 

i think on this one to do it right you need... full wiring harness, ecu, axles, transmission, slave, master, clutch pedal assembly, linkage assembly, shifter assembly, drill a hole in the fire wall for the master cylinder, cluster, center plastic around the shifter, i think that about covers it.

 

If he has all the parts already it will be a breeze IMO...

 

Fixed....

You only need to change your cluster if it bothers you. If it is awd, then your gonna need a t-case and have to switch out the rear diff due to ring gear differences.

 

My car is a 5 spd, but the shell i'm thinking about getting is an auto. So i'll have everything from my car to swap over. i'm hoping it wont be to bad since i'll have my car as a referance the whole time haha

 

lol, I just swapped an auto to a manual, then swapped a manual to an auto and am now in the process of swapping an auto back to a manual and all done within the last 6 months, but please don't listen to anything I have to say... GL I'm out

 

i would never do that. u just dont know how much fun is a turbo automatic car...
