Skullzaflare Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 So putting a stock auto insurance manual car, what all would be needed? I currently have the trans, shifter and linkage, crossmember, driveshaft Ignoring the trans cooler and making the tunnel biggerWhat else would be needed to put it in my car?

ucw458 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Never heard of a stock auto insurance manual car. You will need the flex plate and stiffening rings. You will also need the bushing that fits in the crank to support the torque converter. May be a few wiring issues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vacuum port, that's what controls when it shifts right? Planning to plumb it straight to the vacuum pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbrad511 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The neutral safety switch is on the side of the trans. You'll need it for your brake lights, but your stick car won't be wired for the "safety" feature itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 The vacuum line helps the trans decide when to shift. The higher the vacuum the lower the rpm it will shift when cruising. As far as I know there isn't a computer but I haven't looked into it much. You will need to wire in the reverse lights and there is an OD solenoid. I'm assuming it's electric. Sorry I can't help more without diving into the FSM. Most of my SQ experience is with manual trans cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starquestJOE Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Brake pedal and speedo cable is longer as well. Why not find a nice auto car to start with? Maybe easier and can make money from the red one and whats left of the fiji I maybe be able to find out if my rust free banana auto is still around.

Shelby Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 if your low on funds, doing this 5 spd to auto trans swap isn't a good idea I've done many engine /trans swaps in my life but I'd think twice about it doing my self ( I did that swap one time in a pick up , not an easy one )most that try'd this ended up junking the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrap not a option All the bearings in the 5 speed are failing I need lower rpm, redline is 4200, i dont go over 3500, don't like 3000 on interstate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
