auto to manual conversion...BOOYA, its DONE.
 

so after 3 weeks, a local motorsports garage finished the labor intensive work to convert my 7th gen from auto to manual. i can list parts if ppl need them, but the guys that i got to do the work are probably one of the best in this state.

complications along the way:

-torn axle boot
-bent tranny mount
-reflashing the manual ECU has not worked yet, we are going to try some more next week.
-thus i'm running my original auto ECU, with the (D) light blinking and checkin engine light, but no biggie.
-hotwired around the starter b/c the starter won't turn b/c it thinks the car is in (D). (haha i dont need to press the clutch to start the car...)

all in all i dont regret buying the parts and paying the minimal fees for tech-heads to put it in. i love it. i will now entertain questions if any.

Time for a cluster swap. :)

different car after swap isn't it? you willl feel more power..congras.. :clap:

congrats man. i will have to check it out at the next meet

its bad to have the car think that the clutch is engaged all the time

it can potentially fry the ecu cuz it happened to my car....

i made the computer think the clutch is engaged all the time so i can have
remote start and clutchless start...but turns out to be detrimental

hmm never thought about that...thanks for the pointer...

how much?

i'll sell you my whole engine tranny ecu and all for the low low price of only 6500. jk

nice swap wish i can see it

thats what i wanna know

^^me too

$850 total on all parts including every last bolt and nut. labor...lets just say 'muahaha'.

mm.... last I heard.... tranny swaps would run no less than $2000 if you brought it to a shop.....
so I would say good deal..... but then again, had you started with a manual, you would have saved now.... about $1850.

actually considering i got the car for free, before the swap i already saved $14,000, and now after the swap, i've still am saving $13,000+. yeah the car was willed to me.
