tranny swap

hey ken how hard would it be to swap the automatic tranny for a 91-94 vigor manual tranny? Im sure I would have to convert the whole car to OBD 1. Has this been done before and would it bolt on using the vigor tranny mounts?

Is your TL a 2.5? The tranny should bolt up with only minor mods to the mounts and/or bell housing.

~Cheers~

Yeah, you'd need to do an OBD-I swap. You also need to make sure that a clutch pedal can be installed. Get a mechanic to check out your 2.5 and see if the firewall has the right openings.

You'd also need a brake pedal from a Vigor.
