Because now, I shift 6 times.

Before:






After:

Ignore the ghey Advanced AutoParts shift ****, I havent gotten my hands on a stock on yet.

 

looks nice, how do you like the pull on the freeway?

PS: does your car think youre in park? or is that reverse?

 

seems like neutral to me..
but nonetheless.. nice "upgrade" =)

 

yeah youre right, N it is

 

alright mike...lets see some shifting....lol..congrates ..how do u like it ..?

 

welcome to the dark side mike

 

Very. very nice. Congrats on the upgrade.

/r

 

thats alot of work....good job

 

good job mike...no more 6speed envy. Did you pick up one with an HLSD?

 

very nice.... and 3rd gear crunch n such?... is it a rebuilt tranny?...

Are the lettering on your headunit and climate control, Blue?....

im really digging the red lights and everything... I want.

 

Nice but I think I'd just go with a Transgo Shift Kit in my slush box.

 

Good luck getting a hold of them. Maximum tuning will get back to you ASAP.

Well, my local distributors were crap, so I decided to go w/ Maximum tuning. Maybe yours are better.

 

Very nice, bet it feels like an entirely different car now? I know riding in my buddies 03 auto and then getting into my car is a drastically different experience/feel. How much did the swap cost if you don't mind me asking?

 

Waiting on some further details.

 

The car feels great, Im still breaking in the clutch but so far the few times I did punch it, it feels great. Right now Im running the auto ECU until I can get the guy who reprograms the manual ECU to do his thing. This is also an HLSD tranny. Only problem I have is that Im still using the auto motor mounts, theyre way too soft for a manual tranny. I'm also dealing with a bad axle that causes the car to shake under moderate acceleration, Marty at Raxles should be sending a new one out soon enough though. to Marty at Raxles, really good guy to deal with!

 

Since it's still running the auto ECU, the gear selector is set to neutral so the car will start, park would have worked also.


No rebuild, has 40-50k miles on it. No crunch at all. The lettering is actually white on the HU and climate control, poor white balance FTL.

 

how long for the whole swap?

 

nice.....

 

Very nice

 

Nice swap, nice to know something like this is do-able. How much did it run you?

I'm also curious as to how you changed the writing on your bose/climate control? Can any good/reputable audio/video shop do that for me? Green FTL!

Thanks Nmex, but I don't think that thread tells me how to change the color of the writing on the display...or if it did I missed it. However the LED cluster/button lights is something else I'd be doing, but after looking at that thread it's definately not something within my skill level to do. So is there any type of shop that'll do that for me?

 

Buy different color of LED’s with respect to what color you want. PM me for more details, this thread needs more information on the subject at hand.

 

Nice chit Mike.How much did you spend overall?

 

Great looking swap.

 

mine goes in march during spring break.

5 sp for me.

I'm probably gonna get a manual ECU but I want to find someone who will move the rev limiter back and reprogram my timing advance back in.

But very nice job on the swap

 

i don't think any can move the rev limiter any more... unless technosquare is willing to.

 

What was your cost and time investment?

 

Total time was 3 days. Parts cost was around $2500 which included:
-HLSD tranny
-Starter
-Master cylinder
-Slave cylinder
-Shift cables
-6speed ECU
-Shifter assembly
-Clutch pedal assembly
-Tranny mount
-Flywheel
-Clutch
-Flywheel bolts
-Redline goods shift boot
-Raxle axles
I think I might be missing a part or two on that list. I'll update if I catch anything I missed.

You should get the manual ECU otherwise the car will throw a bunch of codes and flash the tranny light at you everytime you start the car. As I said, I have the manual ECU, Im just waiting for the keys to be reprogrammed so I can use it.

 

Well the only thing is that you are going to have the CEL>. but it doesn't effect performance at all... and remember to hook up the P/N switch as well.

 

plus he has a 2000, seriously different from a 5.5 gen in terms of ECU feedback (read: partial CAN on the auto)

 

If you're referring to the OP, I beg to differ. The 4AT shift console is nothing like that on 00-01's.


______________________ This is an 02-03 console.

 

I've seen this car personally...def. a 5.5 gen.

 

. . .

 

My car is a 5.5.

 

technosquare is probably where I will go.

How much for the ecu and key reprogram

 

the problem is that technosquare will not crack the code for the 5th gens... so good luck!

The only ones with the Technosquare ECU is larrio and some other guy.. i forgot...

 

well some guys on here I kno have the 7,200 rpm shift point

 

Congrats on the swap!!!

 

and thats for the 5.5 gen.
