Manual Swap


Recommended Posts

I have a 1998 T5A and my greatest regret about buying it was not getting a manual. Would anyone around here (seattle) be willing to do a swap, how much would it cost, and how long would it take?

Assuming you are used to working on your cars, and had all the parts needed, it is a weekend job.

Cost is variable. Trans will cost around $700. With the rest of the parts, it might be around $2000, probably a bit less.

He didnt give me a chance to see his sticker! I used to dink around on swedespeed and then moved to this forum after finding it a lot more resourceful. Then, after seeing Carson's R on the street, I recognized it on the forum. Planetary alignment or something...

welcome

Just try to find a 5 sp 850 or S70 on junkyards and get all parts needed.

Can someone provide me with a parts list? I'm a skill level 2 (IPD's scale) so I will need some direction and inevitably someone to do the actual swap for me. What would $ for someone to do the actual swap (anyone looking for extra work?); the "weekend job", not including parts?
