Swapping automatic to manual transmission
Is it even possible to take out an automatic transmission and replace it with a manual gearbox or whatever its called? and if so, how much would it cost?

its possible with the right amount of money. Pretty much you would need pedal assembly, linkage, manual transmission, im not sure on our cars how hard it is to swap the shifter assembly. Gotta get a new master cylinder I believe. Its a lot of work and money.

Rep Power: 258 actually its not waste of time or money especially if you already have all yuor mods into the car i mean you can do an entire motor swap with tranny for about 500 bux then all you need is pedals and master cyls and stuff which i would sell you but i already sold them to sumone you also need manual ecu shift cable and shifter assembly
your talking roughly 1000 if you do it yourself thats very little money for sumtin like that

Rep Power: 258 no its not less money or effort cuz ur gonna loose money trading it in then have to pay more money for the manual its easier to just swap besides he could have mods on it and that would be loosing money.

Rep Power: 0 ^^^ If he was stock, he could get more for an auto then he could for a 5 spd... He could sell his auto, and look for a cheaper 5 spd around... it would be a hell of a lot of trouble tho
When i went to highschool, a guy had a 2 dr vic, he put an axelback system on it, and he revved it like it was a 5 spd all the time.
He kept going on about swapping it, but it would have cost him some outrageous price, so he just kept er auto... Probably the best thing to do IMO

Rep Power: 0 yea ide say 1000 bucks for the swap is incredibly cheap... comparitively... ive looked into doing it for a supra (buy and auto for cheaper and swap it with 6 speed), and its got a good 4000-10000 dollar range on that swap.
