So i have a 06 automatic ls. I tossed out the idea of wanting to convert it into a 5 speed. Does anyone know how much I would be looking to spend if decided to do this?

 

more then u wanna spend probly

 

lots of work. You could get junkyard parts mostly. But the labor is a pain.

Change mounts for manual.

install clutch pedal and cylinder.

swap trans'

change shifter and cables.

get different ECU or get everything for automatic tuned out of yours

 

you would need a donor car. not worth it. in all seriousness, trade it in for a manual. or just be like me and accept having an auto. it doesnt mean i like it, but ive accepted it.

 

^this..

just get shiftplus.. that helps out immensely.. my buddys stock auto with shiftplus is pretty much neck and neck with me if i dont feel like totally beating the hell outta my trans/clutch. he's got me from a dig hands down....

 

To bad you don't live close I am doing the same but going auto

 

my shiftplus kicks ass. takes the lag out of the auto, actually shifts my trans faster than i can shift a manual (which im not half bad at). its a fantastic, cheap upgrade.

 

5 speeds are faster per driver mod

 

Is it that time of month already?

 

noob time?

 

I swear we see 1 auto to conversion thread about the middle of the month every month, and nothing ever comes of it. I wanna see someone actually spend the money and do it.

 

not really.. no way in hell can any driver shift as fast as an chipped auto idc if your mario andretti.. sure if you got a decent amount of power vs the other car you will have a good fight, but if its pretty much even say goodbye. theres a reason why zzp is builds auto trans' for at the track, they are faster from a dig..

i gots the roll races tho

ive seen like two ppl do it.. one guy i know did it twice

 

Really? I didn't know it had been done. I've seen the manual to auto conversion, but never the other way around, that's cool that someone has actually done it. Is there a thread about it? I wanna save it so I can keep linking people to it.

 

id have to look.. i know what his car looks like but i cant recall his screen name.. its a black lt sedan murdured out with an ss front bumper and a big monster sticker on the rear window.. thats all i remember

 

part of what i was saying...but 5 speed goes through the powerband more

 

if i had the money, id be all over it. and id let you come up and watch

 

yea i cant find a link to said swap for the life of me.. its lost in the forums somewhere and i dont think its on CSS either IIRC

 

If I had the money I'd buy a donor car and do it. I have been looking at them on craigslist lol

 

I have a uncle that works in a junk yard/ you pull it yard and could probably get the parts cheap. but idk any idea how to do the labor. Would I be spending around 2 or + grand to complete this conversion?

 

At least
