There is no kit for a manual swap short of obtaining the correct hardware (tools, mtx transmission, etc) to do the job.

If you had a hahn stage 3 kit, you would already have a bottom end kit :rolleyes
EDIT: Also, why would you buy a torque converter if you were going to a manual transmission? Nobody sells a kit for this. Go to a junkyard, find a 2g car, grab the tranny, the shifter cables, the shifter, and the center console.

no shit i don't need a tq converter with a manual xmsn. that would be only if i kept my auto xmsn, and i didn't mean to type bottom end kit, thats my other car, which is a peice of crap and i think i'm just going to use it for parts, just don't go just assuming i'm a retard. so you can shove the bullshit flag up your ass.

look at the auto section above... theres plenty of info there.
The final drive mod is either there or in the things weve seen before section.
What it does is give you "better" gearing for acceleration at a sacrifice of top speed, unless you constantly go above 120 you wont care. Oh and it causes your speedo to be off a bit.
I have one for sale if you wanted. going the 5spd way.

about the auto to man. conversion how much would you think it'll cost. I'd think it'll be easier to buy a mt eclipse and transfer all the goodies from your car into the new car and sell the old one. I have an auto and hate it im in the middle of a custom install and want a mt. If anyone knows how to convert or anything please help. Thanks in advance.

60889, RE: ok, need some info from the pros Posted by 98eclipsegskt, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
they DO make shift kits for automatics, i've only seen them in fords and some chevys but i've been hoping i could find one for the eclipse.
can anyone suggest anywhere that i could find a good tq converter? thanks

shift kit--TRANSTAR part number K72908J $20 available from http://www.northernautoparts.com/
If you get a shift kit, and even if you dont you NEED an extra tranny cooler, you can get one from pep boys, make sure to hook it inline with the stock unit. Heat is the #1 killer of the auto
If you look at the top of the automatic section there is a link to EVERYTHING you could want for the auto tranny. its in the performance section under automatic tranny
our tranny is a A604 chrylser tranny
thats why you cant find a kit its because you thought it was mitsu didnt you??
As for the lambo kit its coming Im working on a kit cause I needed a challenge, it will be around 500-700 bucks and be totally bolt on (wont work if your side skirts are molded to the quarter panel because it needs to come off to get the stock hinges off). Look for pictures and a group buy sign up in a week or two
