3spd to 5spd conversion currently underway
So..couldn't help but jump into this one:lol: I began about a week ago with this swap. I've done this kind of thing before(should of learned) but i guess i just like the challenge. I have a good friend with a scrap yard so i have an advantage over some i understand. The swap car is a 2002 with 3spd auto and the donor car was 2001 manual. because i had the luxury and wasn't sure exactly what i would need i took everything. Dropped the K frame with engine/trans struts etc. i also took clutch master cylinder and pedal as well as shifter and cables. This is where i went a little further than necessary i took the entire wiring harness complete without cutting anything as well as the ecm. Its not that complicated esp the 3spd to 5spd conversion. I won't need the harness or the ecm. But if anyone who would like to do the swap from 4spd auto to 5spd manual would like the harness/ecm pm me i can definitely hook ya up.

Good job getting the engine wire out intact!So..couldn't help but jump into this one:lol: I began about a week ago with this swap.

If you can, you should also get the horizontal dash brace bar. One of the 4 attachment points for the clutch pedal bracket is there. Mine is only hanging on by the two nuts to the clutch master cylinder. :facepalm: The fourth attachment point needs to be drilled on the firewall and a nut brazed on there.
Oh mine is a 99 4-speed to manual, swapped ECU anyway, and modded the engine wire a few.
that sounds great! mind showing some pics? or maybe a walk around video? I'm really interested in this project with my mechanic uncle. How much did it cost you for gathering all you needed?So..couldn't help but jump into this one:lol: I began about a week ago with this swap.
