Wanting to change the A/T to a M/T...

I've been on Google for the past half hour looking for info on this. I know it's gonna cost a lot, but what am I looking at here? A new shift kit, new tranny, clutch, etc. I need to know all the essentials of what it'll take to get this done. ...Cost and parts that is. Could anyone help me?

if you're thinking about changing trannies, don't. i seriously recommend you sell your car and buy another with manual.

Hey Kelso...i saw that your from Kansas...what part? Im in OP...maybe we can meet up sometime and check out the whips....(where were you for our KC meet?)

PM me...


BTW: their right...the cost of materials and install will be too much...unless you win the lottery and have a shit load of $$ to just play with...my advice is to get a 3.2 type S....if you really want the manual tranny...

Yeah, I even thought about swapping motors as well. Does anyone know of where I can do some sort of trade in for an H22? My best bet is Ebay, I assume.

You gimme H twentytwo, I give you F twentyfwee.

yeah and then they would then after that they would then do this then tell you and give you the then

then after 5 minutes of that they would tell you ur a crazy person.







you can keep your f23 in case something goes wrong with the h22 or you blow it somehow... and buy the h22 for 2000-3000 with the transmission... then put it in and ur good to go.

Of course they'd do that. What? You didn't sense the sarcasm in my post?

Man, if you know what it all takes, by all means, tell me. I'm willing to do what it takes to change it over. But, I still am curious of looking at H22 motors. Does the M/T tranny of the CL work with the H22 motor?

its easier to do with the swap because of the engine being out. you will need to get a hard line (runs across the firewall from the master cylinder to the clutch dampener, a resivoir, clutch pedal, 5spd brake pedal, shifter assembly and a few other parts. Evrything goes together pretty easily.

Hey, ding069... I like the front bumper of your CL in your avatar. Is that a custom bumper?
