My mechanic just finished putting in my new tranny and DAMN can i tell the difference its like a different. I LOVE THIS CAR SOO MUCH!!!! i think it was the best decision i have ever made. SO glad my auto tranny blew

 

how much did you pay for parts and labor??

 

Congrats and enjoy the beauty that is a 5spd max.

 

feeling's awesome...not so awesome in traffic, but it is everwhere else. Go run some 14's.

 

congratulations....now you know how it feels...and it feels great!

 

it didnt cost much my mechanic is a family friend and he got all the parts for about 1000 and i paid him 300 to put it in so a total of 1300 Thanks driving a 5speed max is amazing def feels great and better then auto

 

Man What A Price For That Swap!!

 

yeah......?

 

yea it was a great deal he gets lots of parts pretty cheap since he always goes to junkyards and knows everyone at every junkyard plus like i said he was a family friend so he did it cheap

 

lucky basfard!!!!

 

damm congrats! i wish i knew sumone to do it so cheap....i wanna have fun with 5sd hehe

 

How many miles were on your auto tranny. I am preying everytime I put it in drive that something slips, dirt comes up, blocks something, something snaps, and the tranny slides all the way down Baxter street towards Sanford Stadium ... BUT NOOOOOO ... it has to keep shifting correctly.

 

Yeah man , congrats

 

that`s great, i can`t wait till mine became a manual
can u descripe the difference between the auto and manual???

 

Now you can say Shift_5 Speed lol

 

Night and day. My car was converted in late July and I can't remember what it was like to drive this car when it was an auto...oh, right...slow!

 

i'll be laughing during rush hour traffic. hah congrats

 

my auto tranny died aroun 108000 miles the difference its amazing i use to think my car was fast when it was auto but now i realize it was just slow and its a great difference

 

I have to do that, I'm learning how to rebulid and install manual tranny's in tech class this Quater so hopefully in a couple of months I'll be able to slam a 5 spd into my Max

 

wow i really want to do mine.. hey so what if theres traffic, im young, i go the rest of my life to drive auto.

btw im doin it over the winter

the only problem is.. im not good at driving stick, so i dont know if it will still drive fast

 

Traffic don`t mean **** if you love to drive.
I`ve been driving manual for 5 years and still LOVE it like i did on the very first day

 

I agree ,any car i buy has to be manuel even my winter beater.
Traffic is no bother i cant stand that disconnected feel of a auto,when i get in a auto it feels terrible to me .I always cant stop from pressing my foot down where the clutch should be

 

Congrats... thats a hell of a price man. Good luck with it.

 

When I drive my parents car I feel like I am just riding in it and steering.

 

i notice every time i get in my dads car or my work truck my foot automaticcally goes to the floorboard so i can start the car.lol opppsss dude u got lucky thats a heck of a deal im up in nashua every once and a while we will have to hook up some time

 

It's still slow, just not as slow

 

what is the model number for your new 5 speed
