Auto to Manual

jeffbarrera · #1 (**permalink**) 11-20-2009, 09:41 AM

So I'm planning on Tranny Swapping my 3.5 to Manual, but I dont really know what parts I need exact.

Any suggestions for a newb?

If you do a search, you'll see that it's not financially advantageous for you to do an auto to manual swap. You're better off selling your car and buying a MT.

The only person who did it was 02ALTIMADUB. It's just one of those, I'm going to go turbo, I want to install a supercharger, I want a true dual exhaust on my 4cylinder posts LOL.

Unless you bought your car new and know the conditions of it inside and out, AND dropped a hefty amount of money in mods. It's not wroth doing the swap.

The thing is, I only got it for $800 bucks. So i might as well make it to a project car right?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'll be finished by the end of the year since I will have some time at home to finish it up. The thread (link in my sig) is always updated once I do something more on the project. Although altima02DUB's swap is complete, his was done by a shop - I'm doing mine on my own, have a 3.5, and can provide some greater technical information. Nonetheless, I don't think this was worthy of a new thread - Your question in the first post can probably be answered by the first post in my thread.

I thought that was a joke! If you do the work yourself, go for it! Good learning opportunity.
