why would you want to? I cant see this being any type of an upgrade. Regardless there are two transmissions used for both engines the KA5MT and the KL5MT as far as I can tell they are interchangable.
there is no point in doing so unless your current trans is shot.... or your looking for lower miles.... but still. unless your current trans is shot theres no point in doing this. the gears are exacly the same
are you absolutely sure?
last time i checked, the ex manual 1st gear is shorter than the lx/dx 1st gear.
have an ex tranny forsale
Very expensive! Very hard! Do not try this at home!
what?
expensive? how? you can get a trans for like 300 bux. swap it in a day. a few hand tools and an impact gun and your good.
and please resize your signature to 500x100
it is WAY to large. this is your first warning.
How about all the work with the clutch assembly? That cant come cheap, and it sure would be hard to do.
two people with decent variety of tools and a good shop jack, with the whole day to work on it should be good enough.
how hard would it be to change my auto to a manual
how hard
cheap? you reuse the clutch you have. all your doing is swapping transmissions. you dont even need to touch the clutch assembly.
might as well swap the clutch and flywheel for something nicer since the tranny is out
if you buy my tranny it comes with aperfectly good clutch and flywheel
just need a throw out bearing
