33708, ATX to MTX coversion in progress...
Posted by DarKReaLity, Sep-26-02 10:37 AM
well fellas, i'm currently doing this conversion, my AT blew for the 2nd time and i'm fed up. figures it can't handle that high of boost for awhile. i ran 15psi 3 weeks ago on my way home and suddenly my RPM spiked and that was that. i couldn't drive faster than 20mph and no reverse. well the next day i took it to the mechanic and when they pulled it out, they showed me the reverse gear...it look like a metal donut, i guess with all that HP it burnt big time. after that they said that tranny ain't capable of that much HP. they said maybe the most 210hp. so i went forget this...no more AT. so i read through the old stuff here and i got pretty much everything i needed at the junkyard. i got the tranny from a 95' NT eclipse for $400 motormount and lines. the shifter bracket, both pedals, clutch cylinder---$100. also as for the clutch and flywheel, they're gooing to be centerforce duals for the time being since i'm getting broke for $350. the only thing i need now is the shifter cable which unfortunately every junkyard i found were only for the GST trannys. can anyone help me with finding that? has anyone looked into the B&M ones?

Left out the MT ECU. Definitely NEED that. Also you'll need to do some rewiring for the speed sensor and the reverse lights.

Also, for the shifter cables I'd say try car-parts.com and see if you can find anything there.
