does anyone have a good how to or a write up on what exactly needs to be done when swapping an auto , to 5 speed(t45) without getting the harness. i know it can be done but i cant seem to find anything concrete or for the right year car. i just need the wiring how to, everything else is pretty straight forward.

From the FWIW Dept., I will pass on my link to a T-3650 to T-56 swap thread

I am not sure how much good it will do you, but there it is.

Keep the Auto and just make more power.

you need the harness. they can be found for pretty cheap

i would stick with the auto, i love manuals, but auto is so much more easy, and from what i gather a shift kit + stall + big gears = sex.

i already have everything(minus the trans harness) for the 5 speed swap. the 4r70w is shifting like **** so im swaping cause i need it not just cause i want it. also total for the swap with a used t45 cost me $600!!! can even come close to any sort of performance auto for twice as much... and by the way the only used parts are the trans(out of a friends car) and ebay pedal assembly everything else is new, so the t45 should bide me time to save for the tko! plus manuals are just so much fun.

ah didnt know you already had all the parts and the auto was takin a **** on you. if thats the case then by all means go for it.

get a haynes manual i know there junk but the wiring diagrams are accurate, you can study it like i did and you can tell really quick what wires need to be spliced together etc. its very easy
