My advice. Forget this idea. Sell this car and purchase one that came with an Automatic. You will save yourself money and lots of headaches. This would be an expensive conversion. The only other option would be to find a donor car with all the necessary parts.
Yes, you can change your automatic transmission to a Tiptronic or manual transmission in a 2001 Toyota Celica. The cost will vary depending on the type of transmission and whether or not you do the work yourself. To have the transfer done, it could cost up to about $8000 or even a little more. Doing it yourself would probably cost under $5000.
Yes, that is possible. But you would need a donor car in order to have all the parts necessary. Otherwise the cost of doing this would be astronomical. My advice is to sell the Honda with an automatic transmission and buy a Honda with a manual transmission.
When the fluid no longer look red. Transmission fluid normally doesn't have to be changed that often. For a manual transmission, maybe after 100K. The manual transmission fluid is thicker and hardly ever breaks down. Unless the gears are clashing, etc. But for an automatic transmission: that would depend on how you drive you vehicle. A good idea for a transmission fluid change would be every 3rd to 4th motor oil change. The transmission fluid is completely different from motor oil, but will eventually wear out. I say a fluid and filter change. It is usually a bad idea to get a transmission flush if the transmission is doing good, so far.
Parallel parking in a manual vehicle can be hard of so,e people. It can take long to park then doing it in a automatic vehicle.
If it's an automatic transmission the linkage needs to be adjusted. On a manual transmission when it pops out of gear it means there may be a bad synchronize for that gear a mechanic will need to repair. Once in a while a manual transmission will start doing this if it is low on gear oil.
it depends on what kind of car, how much of parts inventory you personally have, and how much work you are planning on doing.............
You are doing something wrong.. TAke it to the trans shop.
No. The automatic transmission can not take the stress of the full rpms you get in the manual version.
Yes, les than $1000.00 probably closer to $600 using mostly wrecker parts and doing the interior work yourself.
the best answer i have for this is. buy a haynes manual. there are many things i can tell you like take the wheels, cv-shafts, block the engine, disconnect transmission lines/shifter & kickdown, take off torque converter cover and bolts and remove transmission bolts. however the manual has pictures and allows you to get a better idea of what you are doing.
They should be.. just don't try to replace a manual with an automatic, or vise versa (unless you have a good idea of what you're doing)
If it is an older vehicle without all the electronics, it would be a fairly simple affair (aside from all the labor of actually doing it). Would just need to take out the manual trans, clutch, and flywheel and put in an automatic that fits that vehicle and perhaps get a longer or shorter driveshaft (possibly from the donor vehicle which should be the same make and model as the one you have). Along with a shifter for the auto trans. If its newer with all the electronics and stuff, then it would be alot more involved of a process. Best thing you could probably do is just sell the vehicle with the manual transmission and buy a vehicle with an automatic transmission if that is what you want though.
