The short answer is yes. It is an involved process and leads to cutting of the floor to allow for the shifter, but a transmission is a transmission and as long as it will mount to the engine it can be installed. Kinda costly though.


Can you switch a automatic transmission to a standard?

Yes it can be done, but there is really no point as it is a big job and will cost more than its worth. Plus a manual transmission is way better than a automatic. If you would rather have a automatic transmission it would be wise to just sell the vehicle that has the manual and buy a vehicle equipped with an automatic.


Is Automatic transmission better than manual?

It is not necessarily better it is just more convenient. A manual transmission car will normally get a little better mileage. An automatic is more costly to build so the vehicle costs more to buy. An automatic is easier to drive because you do not have to shift. Their are pros & cons to each one.

Can you install a standard transmission in a 2000 Malibu 3.1L V6?

As this vehicle was only produced with an Automatic Transmission, it would be very difficult to fit a manual in this car. Not impossible but extremely difficult and costly. I would not attempt this conversion unless you have lots of money, tools, and skill.


Can you change a 78 Chevy silverado's transmission from automatic to manual?

Yes, you can but it is a very difficult and costly changeover. You will have to install all the clutch materials necessary. Replace the brake pedal with one from a manual. Change the drive shaft, and the transmission mount. The torque converter will have to be removed and the bell housing changed. If you buy these parts new, it would cost thousands. Therefore the only cost effective solution it to purchase a wrecked donor vehicle to salvage parts off of. My advice is to sell this truck and then buy another one with manual transmission. You will have what you want and be money and time ahead.


How costly is it to do a transmission transfer from an automatic to a manual on a 87 300Z Non-Turbo?

Get a transmission, clutch, and the pedals from a junkyard for a couple of hundred dollars. Eight plus hours in labor, and shop labor is usually around 50-80 bucks an hour.I could be wrong about the labor time, since I've never did it, or had it done.

What is transmission liquid in a car do?

Transmission fluid acts differently in manual and automatic transmissions. In a manual transmission it lubricates the gears and thrust bearings. Generally older manual transmission use a heavier weight lubricant ( 75 to 90 weight ) and some require non hypoid or GL 1 - GL3 oil so as not to destroy any yellow metals. Newer manual transmissions use GL 4 and GL 5 oils and may require multiple viscosity fluid. Automatic transmission fluid lubricates parts and also acts as hydraulic fluid. There are different grades and ratings usually signified as ATF and/or Dextron. Use your repair or owners manual to select the appropriate type of fluid. Using the wrong type can cause severe and costly damage to your transmission. Check your fluid level in your automatic transmission often. If your transmission is a manual, replace the fluid according to the maintenance schedule in your manual religiously.
