Exclamation Transmission Swap??
Tried a search...

Looking at an FD that is an Auto. Want to swap it to a 5 speed.

Anybody in here done this swap before? I assume so.

Costs? Worth it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just buy the 5 speed to start with. It will cost more money than its worth to convert.

I would but I've found a great deal that I just don't think I can pass up. Read in one of those threads of people doing the swap for less than $2500. For the cost of this car I found and the swap, I'd be sitting pretty.

Yeah, I think it'd be worth it too.
