Why the hate on the auto?

I'm building a '91auto.
Why? because I have an 88 stick from the original owner

sounds like ur tranny is done. i had an auto 95 coupe and when the car would wrm up it wouldnt go anymore, it would just rev up like in nuetral but never move an inch

I'm not hating on the auto lol i just get bored driving one. and i like the feeling of down shifting and taking off

hey guys sorry been kinda crazy with christmas coming up but the lip and sideskirts will be on this weekend and im waiting on my new auto tranny to get here so once it arrives ill be able to drive her its been a week and a half since i got her and i cant even drive it pics will come this weekend with skirts and lip

Well today god has blessed me with a 51 degree day at the end of december strange i know but hey im not complaining. I got my wagon side skirts put on and put on the lip that i had laying around from my hatch which is only temp cause it looks like crap and is cut to short. I figured id post some pics of them up so you guys can see if anyone is following, and the skirts will look better when i get my mudflaps in to cover up the end on the fender but since my car isnt going anywhere for a couple more weeks it will be fine as it. Another update there is this guy i kno that has some skunk 2 coil sleeves that his wife is making him get rid of and i've hooked him up in the past on some parts so he is selling me the skunk2's for $25 brand new woohoo and i'm also going to pick up a auto trans with only 80k on it for $65 so she should be on the road next weekend

Heres the pics with the lip & skirts:

Wow no love or hate comments I kno the lip looks completely awful but come on lol any one have any tips on switch out and installing another auto trans? I've searched but all I get is auto to five speed swap write ups. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

App_EFSDN

App_EFSDN

I'm jealous, I wish my front end looked as good as this pic...

App_EFSDN

Thanks man. I'm afraid to take anything off or apart from the front end cause of how perfect it flows together.

super clean

App_EFSDN

Thanks, its the cleanest one I've seen in the ky so I had to act on it.

I say ditch the auto. I never trust old cars and auto trans because you wont find one rebuilt or under 100k miles so imo its not worth it to change out trannys every few years. And as far as replacing the auto tranny its fairly easy. Remove suspension, remove mounts, remove axles, drain tranny, remove bolts from belhousing to engine, remove flywheel bolts, and wiggle out. That was the breif version but its a lil more involved.

My car was auto but I took it out for a 5 speed especially since Im doing a swap. my auto transmission has 99000 original miles. Im trying to sell it

This looks like my 90 when I first got it. Can't wait to see it with the EF2 front end!

App_EFSDN

I am going five speed I was just going to throw in another auto trans til I piece together all five speed parts. And thanks for the brief run thru I figured it was like a manual trans but wanted to make sure.

App_EFSDN

Me either, even tho it will prolly be the last thing to be picked up. Being its the most expensive lol

App_EFSDN

Id buy it if it wouldn't be so much to ship

choocko

I have the same car. me and buddy did a swap from auto to 5 speed. i'll post picture soon. maybe we can swap out idea of each other.

App_EFSDN

hell yeah, im down im always down to accept tips and ideas

App_EFSDN

Well I offically hate winter I've got nothing done to my car since christmas but yesterday was my 21st bday and I got enough money to order my ef2 front clip. So it should be here at the beginning of feb. I also might be moving the dx to a buddies garage to work on it in the heat. I'll keep you guys more posted its one of my new years promises to myself to build my dream 4g Ef2 replica.
