Wanted to get a count of all known 5 speed swaps, just curious.

 

I think 4, it was 3 but then I saw your car line.

 

im doing a 5 speed swap as we speak

 

no black body molding no care

 

I found a clean looking 5spd (VG) maxima at the junker near me...I was thinking about starting the swap as a summer project.

Although keep in the mind the toughest project I've completed so far has been a timing belt/water pump change. how hard a project is the swap? i know you need to change a lot of wiring.

 

Oh, and not to mention the car has like 200k miles on it. The tranny might be f00ked. Is there any way to kind of scope out if the tranny has any problems before going ahead with the swap?

 

No VE no care.

 

My old maxipad was a gxe five speed

 

first one I thought of

 

I gots me one, and i dont think you where counting me

 

ha i own 2 5spds but one was converted which is my '93. the swap was simple and fairly easy to me.

 

I know that there are more then this, i think its subs 1000 has one, and i belive maybe one of his friends too, not 100% sure there...

edit: just checked my PM inbox and blackSE92 or something to that effect did one too (sorry I dont remeber your name, its kinds generic no offence)

 

me a 5speed gxe but nobody no care.

 

Kaleb has a 93 GXE 5-speed.

 

The only problem in our area is finding a 5 speed in the junk yard. I've been everywhere. The only one I found had been raped already.

My 91 is sitting in the garage and there is no way I'm putting an automatic back in there.

 

Yeah, I got lucky finding my donor. Found a '91 SE, black interior to match mine, with a 5 speed, wrecked in the rear. Only other 3rd gen in the yard was a GXE. Other yard I visited had a few 5sp 3rd gens, but they were raped.

 

where did you go

speedway in il ussally has a few but last time i was there they were all gone

we swaped my friends 91 GXE about 2 years ago but it was totaled about 6 months later

 

second one I thought of

 

SPeedway is the one I mentioned having a few. They have a LOT of cars, but the place is a ****hole. Cars sitting on the ground, usually with no wheels, and no blocks holding them up. And you cant bring a jack in.

I found my donor at U-Wrench-It. All their cars are up in the air about 2 feet so it's easy to get to the shift linkage and all.

 

yeah you cant really compare speedway to u-wrench-it as far as cleanlyness but speedway has 7-10 3rd gens at a time where as u-w-i has maybe 1 or 2 so thers no comparison

i have taken jacks into speedway (in a book bag)

i got the vlsd 5spd which is in my car now from speedway in aug (very luck) although it no longer has 3rd gear (very unlucky) althought it dont really matter when your VE no longer has acceptable bearing clearences if you know what i mean
