Transmission Switch
Hey, new to the scene to this forum so a little confused. But i was wandering if someone could help me out, i need to know if its possible to switch a 2000 GT Convertible from a Automatic to a Manual, or if i might as well get a newer one thats a Manual. Only reason im even considering the switch out because of what i have already done to my car would be a newsance to waste all the effort and switch everything out. Thanks

In the long run, you'll probably end up being faster with the automatic. Don't bother with the 5-speed swap, get a shift kit, and a big *** converter. Like 3800 + and that thing will come out of the hole like a raped ape.
I feel you though, I don't like automatic cars either, but faster is faster.

^^^^^ This is the best way to go. Do you have a hand held tuner? if so did you adjust the shift pressure/points? If not get one and adjust them you will really like how your trans feels then. If you want more have the j-mod done (or you can get a shift kit) and then adjust the line pressure with the j-mod and you will really love your car. I have the Trans-go shift kit and predator tuner and my car shifts really hard, but I love it.

how doesn the computer react to a swap since the auto is run buy the ecu do ya have to swap it out or can you just buy pass all of that.

RE: Transmission Switch
do all automatic transmission rely on new-fangled computers to shift, or are they still somewhat old school using the ATF in circuits to tell it when to engage a new set of clutches?
