Transmission Question
I have a question for all you technical gurus out there. I currently have a Eunos Presso which has an automatic transmission, what I would like to know is is it possible/how hard to swap the automatic transmission to a manual transmission. The reason for this is because I want to swap the engine for the MX-6 in the near future.<P>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<P>Thanks<P>Sean <BR>UK
Re: Transmission Question
Does anyone know if the mx-3 could handle a 6 speed transmition (from an Rsx or something)????????<P>

Re: Transmission Question
has anyone ever done a manual tranny swap to their MX-3? i'm thinking about doing one in the near future, but is it more difficult than an engine swap? if it's easier, i guess i'm going to replace my AUTO transmission because driving an auto is really boring...so any info is appreciated.

Re: Transmission Question
I believe Quaife offers a six speed FWD sequential(!!!!) shift tranny. It's about 16K however. It can handle that turboed KLZE engine HP though!
