That the s*** i wanna do. So JCperformance you didnt have any problems swappin trannys? I am sick of my automatic. i need to up grade to at least manual so i can do more to my engine without having to worry about messin it up. How much you pay for your tranny? Swap it yourself?

how much does it cost to do an auto-manual swap on a 00' 1.8L ES?? cause its a tranny, clutch, flywheel, linkage, shifter, its alot of stuff...can i get a few rough estimates with moderate parts and professional installation

I am also 1.8 and loving it. I hear the 1.8 is a lil better than the 2.0

 

[nautical2086]

I do agree, the tranny is weak on the 1.8. Ive been through 3, First one was beat on, Previous owner beat it a little bit, I beat it like my friends do with their hondas and what do you know, one day i go try leave my school parking lot, and rrrrgggrrrfkckc rrrrrgekkcck is all i hear, right in front of the damn school, lol. 2nd tranny i did nothing to it for it to break, and s*** still eventually just broke, and this one, knock on wood, lol the tranny in my car now is from a 00, the 2 others were from a 99, IM never getting another car on the first year of production again.

cost

well i did it myself and its not that bad. Id say it cost around 500$ including short shifter act clutch and pressure plate. Getting the tranny from a local junk yard for about 110$. The only two problems i have had so far is spindles the axles are bigger in diameter so i put in spinldes from 626 but my camber is to positive. Mind you i just did the swap a month ago. It drives fine but ill wear through my tires. I will going to my boys shop this weekend to see if the hubs from the 626 spindle will press into my old spindles if not i'll have to buy some from a P5. Which im tring to avoid. And the other thing is i didnt swap the harness or ECU so my speedo doesnt work and my O/D light flashes, but thats just wiring so if i cant figure it out ill be swap those to. If any one is serious about doing this let me know cause theres alot of little things that you will need to get. I can give you a pretty detailed list.
