ok sis is donating her beat up gtu to me b/c she cant turn it in when she gets her new car, so im planning on swping it from the auto it is and going 5 speed..my question is it even worth it?

im gonna need 5 speed ecu, clutch master cilinder..5spd brake and clutch peddals..trans and 5 speed drive shaft...anything else im mising?


im a prety experienced mechanic ive had a fd for 6 years now..just finished swapping engines, goin single and a haltech wire up


any idead of if its possible and anyone done it??..how hard...should i just say the hell with it and keep it auto...


thanks guys

 

I did it, and you bet your *** it's worth it! Who the hell would want an automatic FC!? It's not that expensive to do either, just the tranny, hydraulic lines, master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch, flywheel, counterweight I think needs to be removed on the automatic. PM hypntyz7, he'll hook you up with all you need and instructions.

 

go for it 5 speed is much better

 

Hey Bacon Ito is doing that swap for me right now. Why dont you give him a call

 

you don't need to change the front counterweight, just use either a S5 flywheel or bolt a lightweight flywheel to the automatic's counterweight. might as well, you already have it

 

i asked ito b4...but hees backed up like everone, and theres some hard feelings abt me bugging him to finish voskos car... i dont need the car but i figure its better then my probe with 234k miles on it, plus u have to drive rotary all the time and my fd is just sitting wating for the single ....


so anyoine care to break me down with a complet list of exactly what ill need?


thanks
len

you are set....all taken care of budy. just relax, smoke your herb, and have a magic hat....

i ordered the 8509's for the haltech BTW...
