transmission conversion
how hard would it be to convert my auto tranny to a 5 spd. i kno i would have to buy the 5spd tranny obiously but is it worth the work or should i just start looking for a 5spd mx3?

Re: transmission conversion
Im doing it right now.
The hardest part is switching the foot and pedal assembly. Evrything else is easy
Do watever you want. I bought a parts car last year.
Look at the V6 Faq forum. There should be a write up thatll give you a idea

Re: transmission conversion
i think if your asking if its hard or not then your better off having a shop do it for you. gather up the parts and bring it to the shop. my local shop here does 5 speed conversions for ~$200 if you bring him the parts.

Re: transmission conversion
The swap is really easy. Again, read up on the faq.
Im not done with my ZE/5speed swap yet because some douchebag by the name of Cross from MX-6.com sold me a flywheel with messed up threads. So now I am working on that.
Easy swap tho.

Re: transmission conversion
It easy on our cars. I dont recommend paying a mechanic IF they charge alot.
Ive had tranmision swaps done by a shop and they only charged 600.
Others charge me 1000 dllr plu parts to convert my eclipse spyder.. ouch
