I am in the process of doing the auto conversion to a 5 speed. As I was looking thru the Haynes manual I noticed that the transaxle mounting bolt pattern for the 95-99 Manual tranny was consistent with all of the auto transmissions except the 99. Now please somebody tell me some good news that it will still match up (seeing that I have already bought everything for the conversion). Any help would be appreciated.

 

i'm also doin conversion soon and the trans i found was from a 99 max...I was planning on getting all pieces from this max. I'm standing side by side with you hoping it's the same. The trans was the same so i thought all was the same until now.

 

So no one has done the 5 speed conversion to a 99 auto?

 

or no one has taken pieces from 99 5 speed to do conversion?

 

Looks like we are going to find out the hard way. Meccanoble, I am doing the conversion on the 22nd of this month so I will find out and report back to you if everything checks out ok.

 

Good luck guys, hope it all turns ou right, Im doing mine in jube sometime, so I will be sure to keep this thread in mind when looking for a tranny, to see if i should get a 99 5spd or a <98

 

I did the conversion, From a 95 to a 99, Bolt pattern matched. The only thing is that my cruise controll dosent work, and my reverse lights dont work.

 

Why don't you guys swap trannies?
