Need Help Pulling Auto transmision

jca0306 · 08-25-2004, 07:43 PM

Gentlemen,

I am in need of some serious help! I am converting from auto to stick and need some help on removing the auto transmission that is currently on my car. A guy quoted me $400 to do the swap, but told me he would charge my only $200 if I did the removal. I jacked the car and from the looks of it, it seems pretty easy. Am I crazy or should I fork out the addtional $200. Any guidance and help would be greatly appricated

Since I am converting will I be needing some additional parts? ECU, Wire Harness, cluster. I am ready have my pedals, clutch & Tranny.

are you doing an engine swap? ie. ka --} sr? then the ecu will need to be changed ka to ka the ecu will work and the wiring harness the reverse is the only thing that doesnt just plug in the cluster is the same too

don't forget your hardline, master and slave cylinder, flywheel, the metal thing that goes behind the flywheel but between the block and tranny, also the rubber line that goes from the hardline to the slave or get a stainless line. If you also get a drill with a angle adapter, that'll help drill the holes. Going at it straight with a drill sucked big time.
