i am pickin up my 5spd tranny this sat night and prob installing it during christmas break. i wanted to kno what i have to change to install the 5spd.

 

From what? auto? 4 on the floor? 3 on the tree? 6 speed?

 

right now he has an automatic tranny.


well when i did a 5 speed conversion on my old integra, i needed the following
tranny
shift linkage with shifter
axels (depending on application)
5 speed ecu
5 speed engine harness
5 speed pedal assembly
clutch cable

ummm i think thats about it. the only other thing you have to check is the tranny mount. i know that on hondas, the autmoatic tranny sits 1 inch higher (because its bigger). you have to make sure its the right height, otherwise you'll be snapping axels while racing/beating on the car. anyone else have input?

 

i heard something about having to relocate some of the sensors in the engine...I don't know how accurate this is but it is something to take into consideration...also anytime you crack open the tranny you can't forget to pick up some new gear oil...good luck with the swap though...keep everyone updated with your progress...

 

I know I mentioned this to you via AIM, but for anyone else looking to do this, the ECU's for the manual and auto transmissions are different. You will definitely need to swap ECU's and most likely have to swap harnesses as well. If not you'll at least need a complete diagram of all the pinouts, a blank harness, and a lot of spare time.

.L.'s description of his swap sounds about on par for this one so far as I know.

 

UPDATE.. i picked up my tranny sat night after the meet. i have the tranny itself, the wiring harness, clutch and flywheel.
i'm gonna need a..
5spd ecu
pedal set
shifter and linkage
clutch cable

 

does any one have cable linkage and clutch cable? pedal set is needed also if anyone has...

 

Not trying to be rude or anything but why did you spend extra money for an automatic just to convert it to a manual later? Seems like a waste to me.

 

the car was passed down to me from my brohter (zooracer) he got the lancer but never thought he would work on it. now ive taken over the car i want the car the way i want it

 

any updates

 

i'm waiting for my 5spd ecu to come in.. after that i just need some small parts form a yunkyard than i think i'm set to goo.. it look alot longer than i expected to get some parts

 

whats the status? a final price/parts list/work required would be peaches.

 

idk whats goin on im still waiting for my 5spd ecu. hasn't come in yet its been like 3 weeks and i haven't received it yet

 

Keep us posted... Take it doing it all yourself?...

 

What all costs have been involved, how much have you put into it?
