Has anyone...

..ever converted an automatic 99-04 to a manual? If so... did you do it yourself, or did a shop... how much did it cost you? Did everything turn out fine?

I would love for my car to be a manual if its possible down the road.

I'm going for it very soon now. I'm picking up a t-5 for 325 this week with less than 40k and a pedal assembly for 50. so that leaves me needing a driveshaft, flywheel, new clutch, clutch cables, and shifter. So it'll be in the 600s. I'll let you know how it goes as I get it done, doing it myself.

Please do. I prolly could not do it myself. Never done anything like that.

Im putting a 302 in mine with a t5 swap. I will let you know how that goes.

9986paulk · September 29th, 2009, 08:08 PM

I really don't think it's that hard, just time consuming, with the pedal assembly. Other than that everything should go smoothly. Especially considering the t-5 is considrably lighter than the 4r70w, i'm pretty sure. And you'll need either a manual computer, or a tune. I got my tune from VMP a few months ago and he just sent me 3 more for the manual. Great to work with.

ooo didnt know you had the manny....

well theres the big diff in our cars

It's not a very difficult swap at all. I found someone parting out their wrecked v6, and I bought everything I needed for the swap for $450. I also bought a new clutch for $200.

WLJohnson05 · October 1st, 2009, 04:05 PM

why do that? not very cost effective IMO. that money could be well spent in other areas

GreenFaleen · October 1st, 2009, 04:16 PM

build your auto, or sale it and buy a manual for cheaper

NorCalWhtHrse · October 1st, 2009, 04:17 PM

...or just do the swap for under $500 and keep your dope ass modded sixxer...

google is your friend

Zat just keep the auto because it brings the power 24/7

GreenFaleen · October 1st, 2009, 10:50 PM

no I meant the whole car,

and by build the auto I mean, high stall converter, up the shift pressure on with a tuner or get a shiftkit, and get a ratcheting style shifter(will let you manually select gears) from B&M

Info on Shift Kits

I wrote that up awhile ago has some links to things you need

WLJohnson05 · October 1st, 2009, 10:51 PM

anyone know if there is any other good ratchet shifters that we can use besides that hammer shifter?
