Hey man give the guy a break if no one is going to help him then no one here should throw there two damn cents in. Look man me and my boyz are willing to help. My boy has a right hand drive fd, I myself have done many tranny swaps from auto to man. You could bring to my homies house or my house either is fine. Just let me know if your game just pm me so the haters in here don't talk ****!!! Duce

You have to remember, this is the "WEST" coast guys. For whatever reason they just don't take things seriously? Everytime I have posted for some sort of assistance, I have never received any. Refeering to the So Cal guys. Nor cal is awhole different story.

i already helped another member do it for free, i wouldn't do it again unless i had absolutely nothing else to do. i'm sure there is people who may have the knowledge and time to help but those people are few and far between. it took a full weekend and the owner of the car almost got a broken middle finger when the auto tranny fell on his hand while dropping the heavy ****.

all i'm saying is good help is hard to find for free, especially for that amount of work.

****, if someone helps you with that swap, you better offer them more then a dinner. That's a hell of alot of work.. Since you own a Fd you should be able to give some cash.

Type FD Manual Transmission Swap 2020 on the search bar, make sure its under threads. This helped me a lot, hope it helps.

I'll be doing my swap in the future. This is as good as my help gets. A post of your trial and errors would be greatly appreciated.
