stupid question

i have a 98 cavy its an auto and ive beat the shit out of the tranny lol i need to purchase a new one ...id like to convet it to a manual.........do i have to get a new ecu ??? or will the old one work since the manual dont need to know when to shift..... cant i just bolt the manual up and go??? i know the console has to be changed... i know this is a stupid question lol so please dont bash me !!

yes, you will need a different ecu, about the actual conversion, as far as "bolting up" goes, i dont know...

did you beat the shit out of the tranny by manually shifting through gears all the time??:grinyes:

probably doing burnouts or turning hard at high speed and accidentally hitting it into neutral or reverse..

probably doing burnouts or turning hard at high speed and accidentally hitting it into neutral or reverse..those are possible but im leaning more towards the shifting through all the gears all the time lol most people that blow there tranny then want to convert it to manual are the people that shift there auto like a stick.

I'm pretty sure on all autos, you can't shift into Reverse unless you push the button down, thus eliminating the possibilty of accidentally hitting it into reverse and would reving high in neutral effect the tranny? I figure it would hurt the motor more, not the tranny.

(neutral drop) now thats going to f@#$ with your tranny for sure.:nono:
Oh yeah, without a doubt. I've never done that myself and def. wont. :shakehead

yeah i've been down that road. back when i had my civic. beat the pure shit out it.:disappoin really regret it but o well. took the thing off-roading lol i know :nono: every single inch of it was covered in mud. reverse drops all the time. pulling the e-brake doing like 65mph and doing 360s. that was my ''beat the piss out of car, and get it all out of my system'' i have never done anything like that again with any of my others cars.

I'm paranoid enough as it is just driving my car, every little vibration or rattle I start to freak out like something is wrong with it. Even going around corners too fast or hitting big bumps. So doing anything like that is out of the question for me. I'm just sick of having to repair stuff even tho i KNOW it comes with the territory. It's like driving a damn ford, Fix Or Repair Daily

It's like driving a damn ford, Fix Or Repair Dailyyeah i def wouldn't recommend doing what i did back then. as far as the ford comment, lol i have a '95 mustang and havent had anything wrong with that thing. runs great actually. well it needs a new covertible top but other than that its great.

I had an 89 mustang lx 2.0 auto before my 2.2 cavy, that car was sooo slow lol I remember looking it up and i think it had 88hp. But hey atleast they circled the problem. :rofl:

naw its not like that i have just been driving the hell out of it i never stick it in 1st and manuallly shift it ... i juts plain smash the gas and the tranny is slipping nowohhh lol that happend to my buddies monte carlo. always smashing down the throttle so it would downshift, then one day we were going about 55mph and he smashed it down.......and the gears were gone. :banghead:

you will need a new ecu. wiring for it, clutch master cylander, clutch pedal, brake pedal, and gas, the connecting rods, and as we all know the trans.. hehe

haha wow. all this talk makes me wanna replace my transmission for the 3rd time
