Hey guys, so I'm about to buy a 94 teg from a buddy of mine but it's an auto. I prefer a stick but I'm getting a really sick deal on it. So the question is;

A. How difficult is it to swap from an ATX to a MTX?
- I'm some what technically inclined and not really timid around machines.

B. If it is more of a hassle is there somewhere local in southern California that I can take it get that swapped?

C. Where is a good place to find a tranny and can I use the tranny from any DC minus the ITR?

D. Am I over my head with this and should just buy it and sell it and get a hatch instead, ?

Thanks

 

its not too hard. you can search and find a write up. However if you don't own it yet, why not just go buy a manual?

 

I'm getting a really good deal on it, it was recovered by the police and he does not want it anymore. I tried the search but nothing conclusive came up. Perhaps I'm not as computer savvy as I thought lol.

 

I got a sweet deal on a intega also and the only bad thing is it is also automatic and i have been searching for auto to manual conversion write ups this is what i found

Hope this helps you and you should also take some pic while doing this project let me know how it goes

 

thanks man, for sure I'm gonna get the car out of impound tomorrow.

 

yeah, write ups are everywhere. and you can use any B-series tranny with your LS. They should all match up fine.

 

It's not to hard, just need some time and patience. Some people prefer to do it with the engine out, some prefer to leave the engine in the car. IMO, removing the engine is the easiest way, this way installing the lines, etc is easier. Getting the parts is probably harder.

Linkage
Axles
Half shaft
Hard Lines
Clutch reservoir
hasport Mount ( easy )
Flywheel & flywheel bolts
New Clutch & Pressure Plate ( Do it once and do it right )
Manual ecu

Get yourself a diagram to rewire reverse lights and rewire the automatic lock.

 

well, i've read that you need a manual b-series starter also since the Auto starter bolts are different. correct me if i'm wrong.

 

i just finished doing one it was pretty simple to only hard part was doing the cluth and brake pedal install with the master cylinder and stuff but other than that its a whole lot easier than you think
