auto to manual?
Hi, Im interested in knowing alittle info on swapin a auto trans for a manual..Im thinking about it cuz of the 3 cylinder auto vs the 5 speed manual..and if i wanna run turbo at anytime i think it would just work better...My question is what EXACTLY do i need to do it..?? im thinking of buying the parts at a junk yard and then seeing if a mechanic will installl and do the swap for me..cuz im not so smart when it comes to things like that...Im sure this is asking alot but if you do list what i need can you be very specific and maybe an estimate on how much you think everything including labor would cost and if (which im sure i can) use a tranny from a PT cruiser? Or is it worth maybe find a crashed PT GT cruiser and doing a full engine swap? Please be specific on things as i kinda wanna know as much as i can so i can have someone help me for a few hrs pulling this stuff off the car. Thanks in advance.
