It's alive!!! 5spd conversion complete
Chock up another successful 5spd conversion. Started up the car tonight, purrs like a kitten. ACT clutch is a little rough when starting out, but I'll just have to wait till it breaks in... 5spd VLSD with only 7k miles on it, tranny works like a dream, though the short shifter is a little notchy. Writeup and pictures soon. Thanks to everyone who helped me out. :kiss:

:festive: Congrats! :D

So jealous. Congrats on the install.

Thanks. Yesterday morning the tranny was sitting on a jack. I couldn't get any help till after 5pm, and I really wanted to get it running, so I just put it back in by myself. It's a little bit harder with only one person, but I got it running!!!! :D
Oh yeah, worth all the trouble x1000 |

Total out of pocket cost for me should end up at less than $500, so I paid $14.5k for a 97 with only 28k miles and a 30k mile warranty almost two years ago, okay with me... :kiss:

Yeah, after I hit about 15mph my CEL came on. I ran all the codes and they are all for the tranny. I'll get a new ecu when money permits, but I don't really care about it right now... I'm more worried about getting the reverse lights to work... :D
