ProjectT-5R Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 if you need any info you can ask me too. I would suggest you get manual tranny axles for sure. the spines stronger. I did not and had to replace them in 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowcars4life Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I've done a auto to manual swap in a 94 Accord. I did it with no power tools and on jack stand sin a parking lot. It was pretty easy besides trying to get a prebent hydraulic cluth line in. I made the mistake of trying to drill a small hole for my clutch pedal also and then grinding the rest out. That was a big mistake because it took forever to grind.I want to swap over my 760, but I have been a little lazy. Hopefully it will be ten times easier since it is RWD.

shedpress Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 can I recommend the shift knob and boot from the vw beetle S. It has brushed accents, gray stitching, and a nice black leather boot.here is mine:I got mine from TMTUNING Great company based in Germany. good luck with the swap. If I end up getting a auto volvo, I'd like to do the tranny swap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
