I just bought an automatic 95' eclipse GS (I was looking for a newer 5 speed GST or GSX but saw this one and its super clean so I jumped on the opportunity). I heard from dealer that some people do conversions from automatic to a 5 speed but they weren't quite sure on the specifics. Has anyone done this or knows anyone who has? Are you happy with the results and is there anything that I should know or keep in mind in attempting this. I have to replace the transmission seal so I figured since I'm doing all that work to get it out, why not go the extra few yards and make the car into something that I can enjoy a little more. If anyone could give me some specifics to a conversion like this I would greatly appriciate it because as much as i've looked, not many places gave me any advice worth my time.Thanks.

wrong section but it can be done

1992 Plymouth Laser
-Bone stock for now.

for starters you could check out the transmission and the search function.

Next-> Yes the swap is possible. I already bought the big parts for my swap. I should be doing mine this spring/summer.

There are a number of old topics on this if you look around

I did it and its not really that bad. You just have to get everything, thats really the hard part. The rest is just bolting it up. You do need to get a manual ECU and depending on what year you have, it has to be specific, like mine. Thats what I was told. The only bitch installing, to me, was the slave cylinder. If you have anyother questions, you can email me or something.

Good luck

I thought the hardest part was the master cyl.
Yes it can be done, the hard part to obtain would be the 95 MT ecu, as they diff (well the connector). Everything else is bolt up. I am working on finishing up the newer write up, but since there is no longer a gap between classes and fluid power kicking my ass, I cant find time lately.

If your local I will gladly give you a hand.

(I got kicked out after I refused to go Cow tiping) - Hehehe you know who this is for

Or maybe it is the master cylinder, lol.

Oh yeah, dont forget to take out the ATX or your speedo wont work.

lol u hacker u..

If the auto TCU thats under your console is still plugged in, your speedo wont work, I learned that the hardway aswell. Now with you hacking the auto harness into the ECU, I couldnt say what you did. All I did was put a manual ECU in and then made my own speed sensor harness and soldered that to the correct pins on the ECU.
