Automatic to manual swap, Help Options

[94celi757]

I got a stumper for everyone out there, i remember someone else up here complaining about the low end in the automatic st 7afe, im really considering this 3sgte engine swap with the tranny, my question is i have an automatic, does anyone know the price range from an automatic to manual swap, maybe an estimate at a local shop.

the auto to manual swap is gonna have to be done at the same time as the 3sgte swap. because the 3SGTE has to mate to a tranny not compatible with the 7afe. and reading post of people taking cars to a " local shop " to get any Swap relate work done and their results has lead to the conclusion of NOT A GOOD IDEA. My rule now is if you can't swap the car yourself you're not ready to own a swapped car.

you will either do the proper research and do the swap your self or pay a shop to do it and then learn the hard way or just give up.

any kind of work will cost twice as much on a swapped car if you take it to a shop and chances are they don't know how things were set-up and won't be able to help you much, but they will most likely still charge you for that.

At my shop, I charge an extra $1000 to convert a car to manual while doing a 3SGTE swap. That's for the extra labor and all of the parts involved (except for the tranny).
