Auto/manual conversion checklist:
Manual tranny Flywheel and bolts Clutch kit (and pressure plate bolts) Driver's side mount for manual Shifter assembly Shifter cables Clutch pedal assembly Brake pedal (or grind down your stock one) Clutch master cylinder Clutch slave cylinder (if not included with tranny) Clutch lines Manual ECU or wire in resistor box for the auto ECU I just wanted to put this down so that I don't have to retype it every time someone asks me how to do it  Feel free to add thoughts and comments. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Oct 29, 2005 - 5:16 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

QUOTE (Dr_Tweak @ Oct 29, 2005 - 11:47 PM)  I can usually get everything in that whole list for about $700. -Doc is that including the labor? with everything installed? is 600 cheap for a full swap labor included? there is this mechanic that has a 5th gen celica, when i had a conversation with him he sounded like hes knows what hes talking about but i havent seen any of his work..should i trust this guy to work on my car? another thing is how long does a transmission convertion take? days? weeks?? sorry i know im such a noob and needs to be researching and reading article about this, just wanted to hear you guys's opinion about this... --------------------   |
