I rsally like the car and want to make it fast, what would the cost be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Both very subjective questions. #1 depends on how much a manual transmission is to your driving experience. #2 depends on what's available and how strong the market is in your area or how much shipping your willing to pay, etc. My short answer is sure go for it. Responding with more information will not change my answer, but researching what it will take to make the swap and how much parts cost in your area will change your perception of my answer.

Alcatrax Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Another question is will the car feel bad like is it bad for the car in some way ? And thanks for giving me some hope everyone has been telling me to sell it but I really don't want to ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If I understood your meaning, no, a transmission swap isn't bad for the car. It is a relatively involved process with many steps and as such presents many opportunities to make mistakes, perhaps that's what the nay sayers are trying to say, but to an experienced mechanic (extra emphasis on EXPERIENCED) the swap is no more complicated than replacing a radio.
