hey guys, i wanted to know how much a 5speed swap will cost me....

 

anyhwere from 100 to 1000 depending on where or how you get the parts

we did it on my friends 91 for about 300 with new axles but it was a pretty big project since we were getting everyhtign from diferent junk yards

 

i would say its not worth it for a vg. considering all the trouble you might as well sell your vg auto and get a ve 5spd and it proly would end up costing you nothing depending on what condition your gxe is in. its what i did and its the best mod ive ever done a 5spd and 30 extra horses and i made money off of it i could swap basically everything and i got a bunch of cool extras like another set of 17's, fidanza fw, cai, y pipe, high flow cat ec..... keep your eyes peeled on ve's for sale you might get lucky like me.

iv'e been trying to find one but no luck. there getting rare.

 

i would say its pretty easy to find a VE 5-speed up north compared to down south where i live. i've been lookin' for one for a while now the closest i came to one was at a junkyard. its a '93 burgundy SE 5-speed with black leather. don't know why it was junked though. till this day that car is still there in the junkyard. i asked the guy at the yard how much for the whole car and he said $600 for the whole car but i thought what else could be wrong with it if it was the engine that blew??? i didn't have the money to spend either way. now back on the topic i did my 5-speed swap myself and all i spent was only about $230 and it was easy as hell to do. but normally a shop would charge a little over $1000 for the swap.

 

well im not that mechanically inclined....i know how to do the basics and all but to do a tranny swap..!!!!! i dont know about that one but im going to the junkyard tomorrow and im going to look around
