Manual swapping!
Ok so I’m manual swapping my car. A couple questions, for the vacuum pump can I leave it there and cap the vacuum hole off instead of buying a cam plate?
Also trans fluid. I know a lot of people use motul 75w-90 300 gear oil but an off the shelf one like Valvoline SynPower 75W-90 Full Synthetic Gear Oil good as well? It’s rated for both GL4 and GL5 like the motul. Is this valid? Last edited by Theodorable; 12-09-2023 at 06:42 AM. |

There are two steps to swapping an automatic to a manual, you can do them in any order you choose.
1. Sell auto 2. Buy manual |

I get manual swaps as much as engine swaps.......but what i dont get is people wanting to do a manual swap for an AT car that always had a perfectly good MT option....

Still, I'd rather go to a completely different car than pour all the money in that would be required for either of these when new. Now, my car that has 230,000+ miles on it and is worth maybe $4,000 I could see starting with it and doing an engine swap that included the trans. I wouldn't do just the trans though. But hey, your car your choice and YRMV. (your rational may vary)

Well I didn’t have a choice really. I bought this car for 4k in 2021 on FB market place. Too good an offer to pass up on. Since the auto trans decided to shit itself. Might as well swap it
