can be done BUT a lot of work. Completely different wire harness, instrument cluster computers. The transmission will bolt right on if you get a trans from the same kind of engine.

I think a 4spd would "bolt" on but thats where the fun would end. The 4spd is a completely different unit. All electronically controlled. The 3spd is not. I'm sure its possible but not without lots of parts!! And time!!!

Sure you can bolt up a 4 speed, But you need to do a lot of mods to it.
