The shops here all charge $29.99 to change your oil, where I can do it myself for about $16. I can change my oil two times for what the shops charge for it.
So the auto to manual wasn't too hard, eh? That's good to know. You'll have to let us know how you like having a manual! -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Well, I originally wanted to but my brother said his friends that do it themselves say it's not worth it after needing to dispose of the oil, etc. I'm sure it's not hard to find a place to dispose it though, I could probably take it to any auto shop that does oil changes themselves. One question about the manual swap, how exactly do you mount the clutch pedal? I assume there's some kind of space where it would usually mount, but that is left blank in automatic models. Also, how hard was it to install the shifter assembly? I assume again that there are mounting places where things screw in already existing in the car.

there should be indentation or markings for the clutch pedal assembly. shifter assembly is just 4 bolts and then you tie in the shifter cables to them.

I assume again that there are mounting places where things screw in already existing in the car. well the shifter assembly is a straight pull out the auto and put in the manual. To swap the cables you have to get underneath the car, unbolt the heatshield (easy, 4 screws) above the cat and remove the old automatic shifter cable. Then put the manual shifter cables in and thats it. The only other thing that I haven't found out yet is exactly where the manual shifter cables are supposed to be routed through. I mean I don't know if they go over the rack n pinion or what. Its hard to explain without pics but yeah. The clutch pedal is really easy as well. The holes are already marked you just have to drill them. Use a 5/8" drill bit and drill three holes where they are marked. The bigger hole you have to find a drill bit big enough or use a small drill bit then use a saws-all and thats it everything should fit perfectly. If you look at my previous pictures you can see a picture of the firewall with the holes marked. I gots to go cuz my wife is yelling at me to go eat lol. |

Okay, that's a doable addition to the rest of the costs. So I guess it is entirely doable at home then, huh? Enticing.

I used the stock fuse box because I did not get one with my engine. Just take a look and see if the fuses are all the same. Im guessing thats SRS will probably be the only one thats might be different. However I have a 94gt and yours is a 99. It could be a little different. But I would start by identifing each fuse. Wire colors will likely all be the same.
