im live in gwinnett during the summers. right now im in statesboro for school- geaorgia southern. Aries, i may need it- not sure yet tho. ill let you know

Does anyone know of a good shop in Atl that can take care of this swap for me? (Other than balanced perf- they cost too much $) I would do it but i need it done quickly and professionally bc i need the car for work almost right after i buy it. i maybe could have it down for a 2 days at most for the swap. thank you~Chris

EDIT: think in gonna go with unstable hybrids. the guys sound well educated and friendly. Anyways, i need a parts list if anyone has one. . . Please? thanks guys~Chris

I also may be looking at doing an auto manual swap (found a promising car here in san diego, but its auto:mad: ). Anyone know of good shops/price around here? I doubt that I could do the swap myself since I have zero experience under the hood :(

Rockenreno I am in the process of finding a place to do my swap. Still getting quotes tho. Ill let you know as soon as i get a price.So far everywhere Ive been to has only done hondas and eclipse. And they advrage 2000-3000 for those. I dont think it will cost that mutch becouse I dont have to replace as much

I did an auto to manual swap on an S13UnderPressure this is what you are missing:crossmemberPlate that goes in between the transmission and the and engineThe little box that goes before the clutch lenes goes into the slave.You also need the transmission wiring harnewss if you want reverse lights

This is what you don't need:ecubrake petal assymbly, just cut the auto petal down to size and place the rubber foot piece over it.crank pulley

Just another 240

actually someone told me that i do need the pulley because it has slightly different harmonics and will damage if not totally kill the engine over time. . . . pretty reliable source too.but anyways, thank you for the help

if you supply all the parts, i'm willing do the auto to manual swap in my garage at my house for $500. The swap would take a day. I'm located in Indiana. Nick

I think every non-enthusiast 240 owner here (ATL) is just lame... same problem with S14s.
