ok guys..i need any and all info pertaining to this subject, as what would be easier to do. I mean i could buy a 5 speed rolla and call it a day..but i love my rolla now and have grown with it...and want it manual...so whts easier? buy a cheap project rolla and just use the transmission in it? or is there some sort of place that sells everything i need. My br has a rolla in his garage thats undriveable but its manual...i just wanna make sure everything i have is in great condition...especially since in the future i plan on doin a blacktop..it has to be manual...so any and all help will be appreciated..

I ran into the same question with mine. I was thinking of swapping for a manual first. Then later doing the motor swap...But then it dawned on me how much extra work that is. Save up for the engine and do it all at the same time is what I ended up doing. In the mean time while your saving, start collecting parts for your swap

lol i kno!! lol but do yall think i should wait until i actually get the blacktop and do it like Trife96 stated? or do it now and simply drop new one in when i get it. Plus eben though it should have most of everything i need...is there anything i should re buy? like clutch or sumthin?

the trannys usually come with aftermarket clutches already in them, everything you need is in your garage its very easy to swap everything fast when you have everything in your hands

do the 5spd 1st cause then that's 1 less thing you need to do when you swap in the blacktop.

akuma64 dont feel so bad ive had a complete 5spd swap for my car for about a year and a half just collecting dust in my garage.....ive thought about doing a swap or buying another car thats a factory 5spd and swapping all my parts over but thats a shit load more work. Realistically i can do my swap since i have everything but fluids i can do it in 1-2days

Alrighty!!!! back to this thread for a minute lol It seems my transmission has taken its last couple of steps and needs to be replaced. I have someone who says they can give me an automatic transmission for free but the travel to get it is a little ways. so my thing is this. I want to do a manual swap..as this thread states, but im needing the transmission and some more of the parts like pedals and stufff. Because my bro Parted most oof the car out since he wasnt sure i was gonna do the swap...so basically im at square one. If anybody..ANYBODY has spare manual parts i would greatly appreciate it. Even the transmission. I feel this is the best time to do the swap since the car is gonna be down for a min anywayz. I need the shifter, transmission and pretty much clutch pedals..just anything. HIT ME UP 423 9941844 my name off proboards is Jamison just incase one doesnt know. Thanks
