How much would it cost to change a Mercedes G from manual to automatic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am sure automatic was your first choice, and now you want a manual. It is best to trade in your current Tc and get manual one. 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.

The speedometer started bouncing and the transmission wont up shift on 1998 civic lx?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Its hard to say without you posting the year,make,model,engine,etc. But just guessing yes it could. on a lot of newer vehicles, the transmission needs to know how fast the car is going. This is one of 2 things the transmission needs know before it can function properly. The other is engine load.

What would cause a gear shifter to be stuck in park and the car won't start?

Asked by Wiki User

If it is a manual then maybe the synchro gears in the gearbox are buggered or possibly the gearbox oil is too low, if it is an auto, maybe the torque converter is stuffed, really need to know wether it is manual or auto (or some fancy kinda new gearbox)

It could be your catalytic converter... yes, catalytic converters clog on these often. its fairly easy to unbolt it from the exhaust manifold. if you take it off, shine a flashlight up from the bottom, you should be able to see light from the top.

Can you replace a 5-speed automatic with an 8-speed manual transmission?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it can be done, but at what cost? Keep in mind it is much more than just swapping out the trans itself. You will have to change out the computer and wiring harness if your vehicle is 96+. You will also obviously need the pedal set, flywheel, clutch, slave cyliner, clutch master cylinder, hydralic lines, new driveshaft. I did it in a 96 1500 with a 4.3, and had to buy a truck for parts just to make it justifiable price wise.

What could be wrong if a 1997 Ford Ranger with manual transmission will start and shift into gear but won't move?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It sounds like it may be low on fluid, or maybe a dirty filter. Depending on how the vehicle is operated (Hot Roddded, Lead Foot, etc.) it could even be the clutches. The best way to find out is to pull the dipstick and check the fluid. This is while the engine is running, the vehicle is warmed up, and in park, on level ground. Pull the dipstick out, and wipe it off on white paper towels. Does it look brown? If so, this would be a danger sign letting you know that the transmission needs to be rebuilt, or replaced. If the fluid is red, almost a candy color red, then the transmission is probably ok, but the fluid is probably low. Put the stick back in, and pull it back out again. See where the fluid level is on the stick. There are two marks, and it should fall somewhere in between, if not, closer to the upper mark. If that is ok, then you need to find a trustworthy shop, or a friend that knows how to change transmission filters, because this would be your next step. If the fluid is low, have some put in to see if that fixes your problem. Then find the leak.

My 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd automatic transmission does not go into 1st gear It will shift from 2nd to drive 3 ok. But cannot start in 1st I have to manually put it in 1st to start then 2nd then drive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I depends on the trasnmission it has. Some have shift selinoids they are probably bad. There are some shops that will check without charge, but either way you will either have to have it rebuilt ar purchase another one. Check the fluid level and change the filter and fluid that might help.

If it were my car i would replace the transmission. A website www.car-part.com gives you a list of used parts all over the country. If you are a do-it-yourself-er it is the cheapest way to go.

or

check for cel [check engine light] or for dtcs [diagnostic trouble codes]

if none are present repair or over haul maybe required torque converter is bad.

Can you convert an automatic transmission to a manual in a 1994 Acura Integra and if you can what changes need to be made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it is possible to convert a manual into an automatic. I converted my automatic integra into a manual. It runs smooth as silk. To tell you the truth and not to discurage you, it would be easier to sell your manual or even trade it for somebodys automatic. There are many Integra lovers that would love to get their hands on a manual. If this is not possible here it goes. It will be even more expensive to convert to an automatic than it is to convert to a manual.Why? There are more electoronic components involved versus the manual.(sensors, shift lock, ect.) These are the parts: 1: Automatic transmission with sensors 2: torque converter and plate 3: automatic mid shaft(manual's is different) 4: shift cable 5: automatic pedal set (brake and gas) 6: automatic shifter complete with interlock switch and harness 7: automatic cluster 8: automatic ecu 9: automatic flywheel cover 10: rear transmission bracket and the lower transmission bracket( the manual ones is different ( trust me I know) You will also need the top transmission mount and the top transmission frame bracket that you can purchase at Acura for about $50. You will have to cut the manual off the frame, grind the welds down and weld the auto bracket in place. 11: You will need a wheel saw to cut away at the center console where the manual shifter is. you need to make room for the manual shifter and the shift cable 12: The center shift console needs to be changed as well. The manual one is smaller. 13: You need the auto flywheel plate bolts, the manual one are longer. 14: you need the automatic starter as well. 15: you need the automatic radiator, the manual one does not have the tranny oil cooler in it. 16: The only other thing brother is the electrical. You need to run two wires to the shift lock, the reverse wires to the auto shifter, the cruise controll to the auto shifter and you should be set and ready to cruise. Now the only thing left is for who to do the install?

Is a telegraph transmission considered an electronic transmission according to HIPAA?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An electronic transmission is anything sent electronically like a fax, or e-mail. HIPPA deals with confidentiality of patient records, and HIPPA addresses electronic transmissions because they don't want their rules to only apply to paper copies of medical records, they want them to apply to all forms of medical records and medical communication.

What is the main advantage of digital transmission over analog transmission?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

digital signal is less susceptible to signal degradation due to the nature of it's transmission signal which is either on or off and therefore less errors occur as analog is prone to signal degradation and loss that is why digital tv is crisp and clear and analog is somewhat blurry in comparison, also with higher bandwidth achievable by digital transmission more data is able to be transmitted.

Why would a Ford Mercury Topaz have no spark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

change fuel pump on 1989 topaz. You have two options. Hopefully your tank is on empty or close to empty, with car on jacks, take off the filler hose, support the tank, undo the bolts holding the tank straps, lower the tank, and reach over and unlock the ring holding the pump and gauge. If you have trouble, unplug the wire harness, take off small hoses, then remove the whole tank. Have to turn it a little to clear the exhaust. Now you can see what you are doing. Screwdriver and hammer, unlock the ring, blow the debris away before you take out unit. Replace. Or......remove the back bench seat, cut a hole in the floor where the tank is,(measure from underneath,) large enough for you to work on, and there you go. No trouble this way. Just unlock the ring, clean area, remove old pump and gauge, replace, make sure pick-up filter stays on. Replace o ring seal, put a little lube on the o ring, lock ring, and with a piece of sheet metal, cut to the hole and just pop rivet or small screws and some sealer, and that's it. Don't have to disturb the clamps and lines this way.
