I am doing a Auto to Manual swap... blah...I have many of the parts. I have found about 6 sellers on ebay who have ALL of the rest of the parts that I need and I keep asking them how much they want. They keep asking me to offer. AHH! I don't have a clue around how much I should expect to pay for everything else I need. They mostly advise me to buy the stainless steel lines since they work better which I will do since they are dirt cheap to me on ebay. I'm going for a new clutch as well even though this one's fairly new. Just very rusty-ish... Anyone have any ideas? What's too lil and too much to offer? They even have the ECU which I am going to need as well. The only thing here I know I will need from somewhere else is a custom bottom mount since I'm told the auto mount isn't the same.
So far this swap has cost me $20 (pedals) I already had all the other parts sitting in my shed. All this came with my engine when I bought it. Tranny has 36,000 miles on it. Imagine paying $400 for Engine+tranny+ ALL accessories included with only 36,000 miles on it. I ended up selling the exhaust manifold for this engine which I didnt need for 280 on ebay!! What a way to get ur money back. I started the auction at 1 dollar! Anyway... My friend will do the complete swap for me for $200 or only $100 if I install only the tranny myself and he takes care of the rest. Here is a pic of what I have already. Remember.. I have only invested $20 in this swap so far and have all this. I pretty much need the Master/slave cylinders, lines, linkage, shifter, console, ecu, and whatever is missing from this pic.
Thanks!
