I just recently purchased a '93 RX-7 auto with about 68K on it for 9 grand. The only problem is, its an automatic but I wasnt going to let that stop me cause it was a good deal. Is it possible to swap in a manual tranny for the automatic? I dont want my car driving me around switching gears for me, especially a sports car like this!

 

dag i hope u didnt buy it from mj traders. they were selling it same price. My friend took a look at the engine he was gonna buy it engine was piece of crap. auto 2 manual not hard but to much of a headache u probably gonna spend about hmm 3 grand

 

I did take a look at that one. I saw the price and said this is definatly too good to be true and sure enough it was. I went down to south jersey for this one. The guy who I bought it from knew his rotary damn well.

 

I did the swap and it came out great, it was the best thing I think I did for my FD

 

Run a search and you'll turn up several threads on the conversion from automatic to manual. I think a few have even created webpages with walk-throughs on the swap.

 

Best thing you can do... i did it, and oh man, what a difference!

 

Definately do it, everything bolts up just a pain locating parts for a good price. Go new with clutch , and used everything else. I got alot of parts off
www.part-trader.com

 

my bad this is the site

http://www.car-part.com

 

By doing this would the value of the car go up or down?

 

You would be able to sell it as a manual.
More people are interested in a manual.
More potential for high HP # with a manual
If you do it the right way, you can't tell.
Manuals are worth more !

 

Do It, hell pay me and Ill do it for yah

 

everybodys doin it! im tring to save enough money to get a new clutch and flywheel. i would of been done by now, but christmas set me back.... damn hollidays.
btw, eveyone that has done it loves it. its a pain finding parts for a decent price that are salvageable.

 

i'm in the middle of doing the swap now... the wiring is the trickiest part in my opinion. I found all the parts and what not fairly easily and at great prices....
i did make the mistake of not labeling everything, so take this advice.... LABEL LABEL LABEL! unless u got photographic memory :P

 

this isnt the one from mj traders? i was looking into it...is it a POS?

 

Does anyone use the god damn SEARCH function anymore.

Every month someone posts about doing a swap. SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

bump for my post

 

why dont you just PM him and let this thread die?
