Anyone ever done it? I have a 2002 RWD model which is turbocharged (for those of you that dont know). Automatic transmission is ok, but its not manageable with my Haltech ECU and its the second time I have had problems with it. It just does not keep up with the Path's power.

Anyone know what parts do I need to do the swap?
If you have link to a page then better. Thanks for the help.

Here she is. Looking sad and sick of transmission issues :(

The '01 with a manual is tow rated for 3500 pounds, with an automatic 5000 pounds. My understanding is that's because
the manual has a lower capacity to handle torque.
