I'm no newbee to mechanical work, but what scares me or makes me uneasy about pulling off an auto to 5 speed swap is the computer programming.
First off, why would I want a 5 speed?
Since I am working on weight reduction, I read a manual is a good 80 pounds or so lighter than an auto.
Second, having 3.38:1 rear gears would automatically (no pun intended lol) be an upgrade.
third, who doesn't want a 5 spd with the "man" pedal?
Fourth, I read these autos have a top capacity to handle 300 horse limit.
And last but not least... these autos don't have the predictability, durability, or feel of a 5 spd.
now I know there are other threads on this, but how tough is it on a scale of 1 to 10?
And how do I go about the programming?
What would the final cost be with used parts? Roughly.
