I know this question has been asked before. I even remember the answer it received however, I can't remember the specidifcs. I searched the forum for about a good hour and could not find the thread....

Anyways, My question is, will a third Gen 5spd tranny work for the 4th gen Auto to Manual tranny swap?... The answer that I remember hearing was yes. Now, my real question is... Is there any specific draw backs such as how the 4th Gen 5spd tranny has the bearing problem...

I know I should shoot for an early 5th gen 5spd but... hey... the 3rd gen is a lot cheaper. Also, after the swap is finished, I could always go and get the 5th gen later....

Anyway, thanks to all those who may help

 

First why would you want to go back and put a new tranny in later.

I doubt it will fit. VG and VE are completely different engines and I doubt they will bolt up to a VQ. I would just get a 5th gen or a least a 4th gen with low miles.

 

So 5th gen. tranny's do fit 4th gen's??

 

yes they bolt right on to the 4th gen
no other parts from 5th gen is needed.

 

Thanks H2K... Why would I get a 5th later?... Money... I don't have the stuff falling out my butt... I kinda wish I did though. I guess I'll just have to put my Tranny Swap dreams on hold for a while longer while I save up the money for a nice 5th gen tranny.

Thanks again.
