Why didn't you just get a 5 speed? Idk **** about autos lol, but either way I'm like 3 hours away, so I can't really help.

bblee

i would if i can but i cant. im handicap so i cant drive stick only autos

RicerJ

it shouldnt be as bad as a 300zx less electrical do you have everything needed? oh and nick at least he has a 7

bblee

umm yea i should have everything that is need... dont u just need the tranny and torque converter? cause whatever is missing is can just use from my old tranny right?

I would help but to be honest I don't know crap about automatics lol. Would this be done at your place?

bblee

yes this would be done at my place... and if whoever comes to help should have a couple of there rx7 buddys come too and ill do a little bbq and drinks and maybe have a little rx7 meet at my place

Aight I am down to help out sometime. I just have no idea how to swap an automatic transmission nor do I have a lot of free time. I work 7 days a week... Can this be an ongoing project type deal or does it need to get done all in one day?

^So long as you're extra careful making sure the torque converter is mounted properly, it slides on pretty much the same (actually easier what with no pilot bearing to maneuver into) as a manual.

bblee

well i really want it to be done in one day... but if its not its okay and if its not done in one day when is the next time u can come and finish it?

I might have to do the same thing, where did you get your tranny?......don't say willson st/way whatever that creepy street is in Stockton >.<

Let me talk to my neighbor and ask him for some advice... If he gives me a decent idea of what I need to do and what tools I need to bring I am down to try and knock this out for ya.

RicerJ

prozium do you have a manual or auto? if manual you can try manual transmission warehouse down on C st in Sac

Prozium

auto

RicerJ

have you looked in the yellow pages? and why not convert to manual

bblee

yea i would really appriciate it alot if u can come and help me out.. mervin was suppose to come and help me out but then he took off to air force so now i have no more help from him...

bblee

no i didnt get it from wilson way i got it from the bay...

Prozium

I have looked on line and rebuilt ones are WAY over priced......more than the car is worth...by a long shot..

I looked into pick'n pull...not sure what to do really.

as for swapping to manual, I'd love to, but I'm not sure I have the skill required to swap it out...nor the money really....

deff going to have to look into both options some more.. maybe look for a parts car that has a good tranny in it....might be cheaper

bblee

yea if i was your i suggest you swap your tranny to stick.. if i could i would buy a stick but i cant i guess ill stick it auto.. even tho my car is auto i still love it cause its a rx7 thats y, and its still eye catching to everyone i know

you getting that help you need for this swap bro? or people just bull shitting with you?

RicerJ

buying a tranny from a pick n pull isnt really a good idea because that tranny could be just as bad if not worse then what do you do swapping to stick would be drive shaft getting the pedal assembly and everything else that goes with a manual car

bblee

well im just waiting if funkjaw would really come help me out it would be great if he can if not then i guess i would have to save 500-700 to take it to a shop to do it...
