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)
