How much for the conversion?
 

Well i think over the winter i might throw a 6 speed in my car, its a auto now, i want a stick i learned to drive with a stick i dont really like autos, how much am i lookin at to spend on the conversion, and what all will i need...

Only reason i am really doing this is my auto is slipping, you punch for low speed and it it revs high but it doesnt start pulling for a few seconds afterwards, you can allmost feel the tranny spining or somethin until it grabs its not realy bad but a problem none the less.

rough guesstimate around $2500 with a used trans

i might look around and see if i can find a used one that might be hard though.... that might be the only thing i do to my car over the winter i had plans for paint and everything but i plan on moving so money is going to be tight for awhile

ure gonna need the center counsil too as well as a 3rd pedal it might be more then u bargined 4

figure just a new trans is around $1500, then a clutch, pedals, master cylinder,possibly driveshaft (not sure if they are the same or not) crossmember, flywheel, shifter, console mods

yea this is going to be way more than i want... maybe i will just wait till i pay the rest of my car off, and get a t/a or camaro, so since i wont be tearing my car apart for any mods i should have it payed off within a year... I like having the formula because not too many people have them but i dont know.. we will see in time i guess

want a T/a get a hatch n glass off a wrecked on and some leather seats n what have you, seriously not to much diffrent and u can do it how u want it over the given amount of time as money come to you

Um i want to go to a junk yard and park my car next to one with a standard in it and swap the parts into my berlinetta, I am not sure if they'd let me do it, but i think theres a way i could get some rusted out clunkers 4-speed tranny and master Cylinder and hook it up to my berlinetta at the junkyard by myslef with my own tools, or just get the parts and work on the car at home, cheap than 1000 Bucks... and then i could buy a new clutch disk and throw it in.. Should Not be too hard i dont think..

Double post

Could be if u have never done it, if u decide to do that be paitent take ure time and do it right.. if u have questions u can ask many

Yea thats what i like about this place!

arch is the awenser god. if he dont know it he'll find it for sure

arch. yea he really knows his stuff, i gotta agree with that!

thanks

def a project ive thougth about too but the money just isnt there right now.. or the time..

but if im not mistaken isnt the master cylinder a part of the braking system?

and the slave cylinder is what you all are thinking of that operates the clutch and tranny fluid on a manual?

master cylinder is what holds the fluid (it actually lists both in the parts list I thought the same thing)

yea, Slave cylinder is a more technical word for the part you want, but people around here call it the master cylinder for the manual transmission. but its basically the same thing... i think

The slave cyc and master cyc are two different parts.

The master cyc is what holds the fluid, the slave is down on the transmission and is what moves the fork to engage the clutch.

If you buy a used tranny, you might get the slave cyc with it, if not you will have to get it seperate.

As with the pedals and such, try searching for Fparts on ebay seller lists. He runs a junkyard that deals almost solely with f-body's. He can prolly get you the pedals, cyc's, crossmember and other minor things you will need. I would say all the parts getting them used should not cost you more than $15-1800. Then all you need is a new clutch (~$450) and a ton of time and patience.
