The money you have to spend to have manual transmission installed, it would be wiser to use it towards your down payment. two much and not worth it you should have got a manual from the start yes u can convert from automatic to manual.. however it is not a simple task! you need whole new tranmission, then clutch, fly wheel and so on. it would be lot cheaper to trade in automatic for manual car. to find out the estimate, check your local import performance shop! Theoretically, but it would be very complicated and expensive. You would need (at least) the complete transmission/flywheel/mounts/shifter/shift cables & all brackets/interior console/engine computer from a manual tC. It is possible that you would have to weld or cut to make up differences in mounting locations for manual parts. It would be significantly cheaper, easier and faster to simply purchase a manual tC.
Not knowing the make or the model it is impossible to guess. Generally you would have to change the radiator, run the transmission lines and change out flywheel and possibly driveshaft. With older cars (early hydramatics, for example), you do not have to change the radiator and there ae no transmission lines, but in addition to changing the flywheel and driveshaft, you also have to add the linkage to the carburetor. You might need to change the ECM (computer) and you may be able to put in an oil cooler instead of changing the radiator. Another way to go would be to contact your local automotive junk yard and purchase a wrecked vehicle that is the same as yours except automatic. The vehicle would need to be damaged in a way that doesn't effect the parts you are interested in. You would then have everything needed to swap over including peddle assembly, steering column or console, linkages, wiring, switches, crossmember, flywheel, driveshaft, correct speedometer gears, cooling lines, radiator and so on.
Without separating the steel from the aluminum, not much.
anything is possible with money but is it worth it?
It your unfamiliar with basic brake work purchase a shop repair manual for that vehicle. It will save you time and money.
Yes, a 2004 Mazda 6 can be converted from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission. However, it is very time consuming and will cost a lot of money to do this.
Going from a manual to an automatic is not that hard but going from automatic to manual is a not easy. This will be a very expensive conversion unless you buy a donor car to get parts from. From my experience I suggest if you want a Saturn with a manual transmission then sell the one you have and go buy one with a manual. You will be money ahead.
Yes, if you have lots of money. Bad idea! Sell the A/T car and buy a manual.
Have a donor vehicle for the necessary parts. Otherwise, get ready to spend more money on parts than you thought possible to convert this vehicle to manual. A very simple and wise decision is to sell this Wrangler and go buy one with a Manual transmission. You will be money ahead.
You Can perform an engine swap to a h22a manual or a b16 manual. You will get more power with the h22a but the motor cost money.
you are better off trading the car in for an automatic...it is not worth the time or money.
No its not worth it unless ur going to do a tt motor swap. check out www.z1motorsports.com
Lift the radiator cap and drive a manual shift Chev under it. Seriously, the computer controls won't function properly if you change the transmission and unless you're willing to put a LOT of money into the vehicle, don't even start.
The basics are money, time, parts, knowledgeable people and/or manuals.
The only person to ask is the one who agrees to take on the job. The best choice, by far, is to sell your 1997 automatic transmission Forester and buy one with a manual transmission. Or you could even scrap the one you have and buy the one that has the equipment that you prefer. In my opinion you will still spend less money. -- Ken
Usually it is depending on whether it is an automtic or a manual transmission. But thart early of a model both types of transmission use the mercon type F transmission fluid if you have an automatic don't waste time or money,it will break soon...invest rather in a manual one.
Yes, not dificult if you have a doner vehical to get the parts off, or a bunch of money to buy parts.
