Bump 2

 

It really depends on how much you spend on the transmission and whos doing the work.

 

It cost me...

$450 for used trans
$2100 for Shep rebuild (it was in really bad condition)
$450 or so for the 5 speed conversion from shep (everything needed for the swap besides the shift knob)
Then labor if you dont do it yourself. Running the cables and everything is as easy as pie.

 

I would guess the cost is:
whatever you can find a used, rebuilt, or new 5spd tranny for + $200-500 for all parts, varying only by how thrifty you are, or if you want to use all new parts. + labor if you dont like getting dirty

 

Bump...

 

double post

 

Does anyone know the correct part number for the 5 speed speedo/reverse harness?

 

Speedo gear:

MD747055 - Gear,speedometer
MD756706 - Sleeve,speedomete

Evo 8 harness: MN151578

Evo 9 harness: 8505A037

 

GST you a legend bud

 

hate to revive an old post but what did you guys do about the center console and shift boot? I wanted to keep my MR center but wasnt sure if the 5 spd shift boot would work with it

 

What are the differences? I need a 5-speed conversion too!

 

I kept the MR center console and the only problem is the shift boot can't stretch far enough to stay with the shift knob when you're in 2nd, 4th, and R. I'm going to switch to a 5MT shift console because of this.

 

I need to do the 5spd swap, I didnt see this covered anywhere...but does the transfer case thats in the MR function correctly with a 5spd?? I hope so hahah, because I see that there is a 5spd transfer case and a 6spd transfer case on lancer shop.

 

Im not really sure what the difference is between the transfer cases but I still have the original one that was mated up to the 6 speed and it works fine with the new 5 speed

 

Im getting an Evo 8 trans but have an evo 9...since Im getting the evo 8 trans Id need the 8 harness, correct??

Ok cool good to know
