I dont know if anyone mentioned this... But on that Clutch pedal sensor... You dont need it... Save yourself some time and money... Where the auto shifter hooks up... There should be two black wires and I believe a green one... Cut em and splice em all together... Youll be able to start it without pressing the clutch so dont leave it in gear . My gf just did this to her EG so if you need any help shoot me a pm.

Yea, Im fully aware of this. Eventually, Im gonna wire in a clutch safety switch. Thanks for the info though.

auto to manual is very simple i did on and took me about 2 hours had one person takein the tranny out and me inside swapin pedal assembly but great work man you spent 300 in parts? including the tranny

 

[Szady]

Yea, $300 at the most. $50 for the tranny, $70 for the clutch/flywheel/pressure plate, $125 for the pedals, clutch master cylinder, ECU, shift linkage, $30 for the starter. Gonna be making the clutch lines out of brake lines, and I picked up a Energy-Suspension Shift bushing kit for $13.

I can drive a 5spd just fine. I do it every day at work. Just, not in my own car. And of course, your off to college, so you cant come up to help.

Haha, I was just joking, but I actually am going to be home this weekend, but I'm not going to have any time at all to help, sorry man. I can't wait to see this completed though, your car has come a long way since I met you.

[denracho]

I cant get the damn 17mm bolt off thats above the driver side axle. Once I get that off, I can drop the auto tranny, and everything will be smooth going back together. I ended up junkyarding flywheel bolts, and hydro lines for $20 this morning.

which one is that? the lower suspension fork bolt?
the swap im working on now is going very smooth. we would of had it running yesterday but we found the tranny had a bad TO bearing. Were gettin one this morning and should have it running by this afternoon. f**k man, im done doing these for awhile lol. 2 in about a month sucks.

 

[denracho]

hey man... hows the swap doin?keep us updated..

 

[matt96ex]

we got ours done sunday evening. only problem is the TO bearing is making noise, at least we think its that..but its brand new so i dont know. and my buddy claims it "grinds a little bit" when he downshifts. havent heard the noise myself but who knows. /threadjack

hope yours went well EJ6 let us know how it went. i still dont know what 17mm bolt you were talkin about..

 

[Genuine Rolla]

I just got back man, just so you know i'm all safe and whatn0t. It was a great weekend



You guys are awesome people...!!

 

[denracho]
