where do i get stuff for a 5 speed conversion, how much would it cost me and who could i get to do it because i am way to indolent.
(for all who do not have a large enough vocab. indolent means lazy)

 

junkyard
probably cost a 1000 total if you did yourself

 

Um where are you cause i know how to do it and im sure i could give you a hand but its a full weekend project. takes about 15 to 20 hrs depending on how fast you work.

I'm actually in the middle of doing mine on my 96 gle (cant believe the tranny went at 36k). So far I have taken off the auto and by the end of the week I should have the 5spd on there. Its not really difficult to do, it just takes time and make sure you have a nice jack, not a pos 2 ton like i bought, you need one that goes up high. I got my parts from cbr2 (one of the guys responsible for the writeup on that conversion)......btw im in nyc, u?

 

you got the parts from cbr2? i want to do a conversion too, but it's a pia to find parts. you think if i pay him, he can find the all the parts for me?

 

YOU CAN DO IT! it's worth every penny you spend

 

I'd love to do this conversion but I already have a 5sp!
If any one in CO plans to do this, let me know. I would love to help out! It sounds very interesting! Maybe I'll change mine to an Auto and back again!

Just curious, is an ECU change required? Or does it even care?

 

ECU change is not necessary..

 

ohh man........good luck.......looking at those pictures make it look purdy hard......the parts shouldnt be too much of a big deal - run over to the junker

 

Man id like to do a 5 speed conversion, just don't have the money, or I will but id rather have 70 shot nos first , but if anyone knows someone in colorado who can do it for cheap i might be interested

99 gxe auto, just bought it about a 3 weeks ago

 

huh got to see how much i get back from taxes.
i want a 5spd!!!!!!!!

 

I got the parts from cbr2. He took them off another car he had so i dont know if he would be able to get parts for you. I can take pictures of all the parts for you if you want before i put them on my car so you konw what you're looking for if that helps.....I dunno what else to tell you...car-part.com?

 

does anybody know of anyone who can do a conversion in the DC area?

 

do it yourself its not that hard,,,,it just looks intimidating....it really isnt. just take out the old one and put in the new one...

 

I'd be willing to help you out if you're doing it yourself ...and provide the parts of course! Where are you located?

 

youre kidding me, right? im 16, i have 0 tools, and 0 knowledge on the subject. i had trouble installing my intake for god sakes!

 

Well if yo9u tackle this one and succeed then everything else after it seems much easier. Plus you will gain alot of know-how.

ok im 21....all ive done before is install intake and strut bar, couldnt install the ypipe,,,,,,for the 5spd conversion i bought all the tools few days before doing this....i have 1 knowledge....

 

don't be afraid to work on the car. just have confidence in yourself. of course your going to get frustrated along the way but hey that is life. plus it will save you a lot of money

 

Plus the feeling after you do it yourself is great.

looked awesome too, youd never be able to tell by looking at it. either that or i was looking at the wrong car. correct me if i am wrong.

 

thats gotta make a difference in cost of the 5spd parts. not like you are gonna convert the car back to an auto when you sell it. auto trannys are worth more than a 5 spd. i dunno something to look at.

 

Man id have to get someone to do it for me, id have no idea where to start and what to do, but anyway im in Fort Collins.

 

i did it alright hehe... just email me if you need help =) me there for ya

 

I would love to do the 5sp conversion,If there is any body that live around ATLANTA and would like to help me please late me know.
Thank you verey much.

Email me at yonas360@hotmail.com

 

I'd like to see the the pic off all the parts, If u could please post
the pictures.

 

Argh! ups screwed up! I never got one of the boxes from cbr2,,,,the one with all the cables and stuff...so all i have now is the tranny and clutch/pressure plate/flywheel...i can take pictures of that for you......damn ups shipped my boxes from florida to nyc.....and for some reason shipped one back to florida....grrrrrr....we'll see what happens......i'll take a couple of pictures of the engine, tranny, flywheel...etc....

 

I love the idea of changing the transmission. But anyone knows after you change to 5 speed would it be identical to the stock 5 speed. I was reading some threads before and from my understanding it is not the same??????

 

As far as i know this thing will feel like stock...they only reason it wont look stock is because gle's are not stick...otherwise than that it should look stock too....

 

i don't feel the difference hehe..
