Auto to manual swap?

[ishavedmyballs!]

okay i have a 01 ls thats very clean but it has an auto tranny. I have a friend that will swap out the auto tranny to manual in about a weekends time for 500$ and i know he can do it because he has a lot of rep from my other friends and ive seen cars that hes auto to manual tranny swapped and engine swapped. he just did a 02 wrx jdm sti engine swap lol. but i need to buy another teg and take the parts off it myself. should i do it? or should i just deal with what i got? im hoping to find a running wrecked one that was hit in the back and only spend a total of 1500$ at most

I just did mine and spent 300 on all the parts I needed. I did it myself so I didn't have a labor cost. Its not to bad a swap and def is worth it.
Just be prepared for little things after the swap is done. I somehow got a idle issue I need to figure out and gotta get the clutch adjusted correctly and im sure other little things will turn up be well see.

Damn u made out. Back when I had my 90 I spent 1000 in parts, did some of it myself and paid 700 to have it finished. I don't remember their being a mount kit available back then either so my buddy welded one that I cut from a totaled teg

My gf is giving me a hard time about the money I will need for parts. I'm hoping to find a wrecked one for cheap

Just remember all the little expenses that will show up to. For me after I swapped nothing to do with the swap but my alternator went up.
Plus after doing the swap I found out I need new motor mounts plus a few other things.

As for mounts, you will only need the auto to manual trans mount(hasport). This conversion is very easy. Done it several times.

 

[ishavedmyballs!]

Any ideas where to buy the mounts at?

 

[cvcrcr99]

well you only need one, and TheMyth gave you the company who makes them. I would say their website would be a good choice. Or maybe ebay, amazon, google.

i call bs on only spending $300

 

[ishavedmyballs!]

Used parts? All used?

Its a fairly easy swap I did mine a few weeks ago. I did every thing my self so saved my self having to pay for labor. All I spent was 350 got all the parts from a doner car being parted out on CL.

well my dad said he was going to help me do it now so that i dont have to spend 500 to get it done when we can just do it. Now i just need to find a wrecked teg, hopefully one slammed in the rear so that i know the transmission is good. 94+ transmissions are all the same right?

Also me and my dad aren't master machanics or anything but my dad has done it before but not on a Honda I'm hoping it only takes us two weekends worth of time because he doesn't live near me. Think we can do it?

Yes, if you have everything.
