well I just have a question and im sure its on here somewhere, but im kinda in a hurry so im just gonna type this quick. my 1994 geo prizm/corolla was recently in an accident due to some guy turning right in front of me causeing me to flip 3 to 4 times. i have found another one for cheap but its auto. now my question is i still have my old car the trans and stuff is still good in it can anyone tell me all i would need to do to swap my manual trans out of mine and swap it in the auto car?
if anyone can help me out asap that would be great thanks. and again im sorry if this already posted somewhere again.
ok so thats basically all i need to do is just take the trans, clutch and cables and all that stuff and swap it into the auto. what about the computer or anything or can i use the autos computer?
ok but how would i do that just leave it in neutral and start it regularly? also just another question the trannys are the same if its a 1.6l or 1.8l right or are they different trannys?
Gearboxs are the same, or at least are interchangable.
There is a plug going into the gearbox, (not the speed sensor) that needs to have 2 connectors bridged. At least that was the way it was on the 20v I helped swap in.

You just have to connect (bridge) two wires together.
Its easy to do, just gota find out which wires, I don't know enough about the FE's to tell though.
If you want to switch the ECU you have to change the wiring harness' as well. (assuming they are like GE's which they should be)

bridged to do what? work with the auto computer? would it just be easier to switch out the computers?
I was wondering the same thing. If the cars are basically identical except for the tranny and everything else hooks up the same, it would be the same as doing an engine swap. The computer wouldnt know the difference. Why not just swap them it should take very little time and it will most likely be the easiest part of the swap.
ok and i have to do that stuff even if its the same exact engine only auto? cause i had a 1.6 and thats what im taking the tranny and stuff out of and the one im probably getting is also a 1.6 its just auto, but im guess i still would.
Sorry dude, but Im not sure what you are trying to ask at this point. Are you going to use a manual transmission or an automatic transmission and what is currently in the car?
If you do a swap, swap EVERYTHING. Including ECU. Don't be lazy and screw it up.
On another hand, do screw it up so we can buy parts from you for cheap.

lol ok i have/had a 1.6l manual geo prizm the one i might be getting is a 1.6l automatic geo prizm. all i want to know is what i have to do to make the automatic prizm into a manual cause i really dont want to drive an automatic and i have everything to do it so i dont have to look for anything.
so from what i can understand is basically swap everything that has to do with the manual part of it and swap it into the auto? computer and everything?
