I'm new to the forum, i just got this car a little over a month ago.
I paid 1200 for it because the kid didn't want it due to the automatic trans.
So after a couple weeks of research i decided to do a 5 speed swap,
I found a 5 speed at a salvage yard about 2 hours from my house
and all of the parts that i needed for $150.
I just got done this thursday with the swap, didn't even have to drive all the way
to the end of my road to realize that the tranny was junk, would only stay in 4th gear
and won't downshift into 2nd without popping out a million and a half times.
Tomorrow i'm picking up a 5 speed from a local junk yard and matching it with an exedy clutch
that i just got after work today.
Anyone know if exedy is any good?
Let me know what you think of the car.
