What happend to Auto to Manual tranny swap? If I could remember There was 2 people performing this procedure,one about a month ago and the other further back.They all started posting about the prep but once the actual procedure was starting,no more posts. I know this subject is a delicate one and I'm not asking for comments on "IF" it can be done,I just wanna know if someone did it.

 

Anyone??????

 

I don't think it happened.

 

never happened.

 

There's no mystery. Like L and ambystom said, they were simply abandoned.

 

abandoned cause of money and i'm using the lancer as a daily driver since i don't have the sds anymore and i picked me up a nova

 

ok ok, sheesh, you talked me into it

if nextgen gives me his tranny and ecu for free, i'll do the swap for you guys

 

my brother used to be on here when he still had his lancer and was talking a lot about doing it and he scrapped the project too...i don't know who else has really been looking into it to much other than nextgeneration...greenpsycho, if you do it i wish you the best of luck.

 

as of right now, i'm happy with my auto. i think with a torque converter it will be good enough. i know i am getting mad drivetrain power loss because of it, but you gotta play with what your dealt, right?

 

what about the LSD? is that compatible with auto? that helped me out more than anything.

 

lsd is not compatiable with autos

 

Cool.

 

yeah, with manual, you get to use lsd, better clutches, and lightened flywheel.

auto gets......well, nothing

 

I know a shop that could do it.. it would take about 2 or 3 days, and 1200 bux. I had one quoted before for my old talon cause the auto trans went out. The shop could only locate one trans and it was an auto though. Those Eagle Talon 420a motor M/T were very rare.. in michigan at least. So I had to settle for the A/T, which was the last remaining one in michgan at the time, I lucked out. But it definetly can be done if you have all the parts and just go to the right shop.

edit: by 1200 bux, that means labor only. The parts you bring yourself. (ecu, trans, shifter, console, pedal, etc..)

 

Level10 torque converter.
