Came to this .
he has a 5-spd trans he'll sell me for $300
He'll do the labor for $600
i have to find the rest of the parts for him.
Differencial. is 3.15 . im wanting LSD.
Driveshaft
Flywheel
Clutch Master and Slave cylinder
Clutch kit .
^<- THIS is what he told me to find.
he can find pedal assembly but i feel the more he puts in to finding parts the more he'll charge me.
im about to make a WTB add but i need to actually know what all i need and if the $300 trans is a good deal .
i think 600 labor is good deal if i get the parts for a good deal to ... __________________ was the 1 an only Bagged Ti on 19's!!   |  |  | | 02-13-2009, 07:38 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Louisiana Posts: 1,093 |

don't forget the interior pieces/trim shifter, manual computer (auto will probably throw a lock up code... does on most cars.. not sure about the ti), all the hydro hardlines/clutch cable __________________

Plain and simple, theyre not different DME's and do not need to be reprogrammed due to a transmission changeover. The only time a computer is needed or needs to be reprogrammed is from different generation automatics and 4spd to 5spd automatic swaps. Otherwise, in a car with a manual transmission, there is no change in software for the DME. You can take any automatic or manual transmission equipped DME and transfer it into another manual transmission chassis without a problem unless you have EWSII equipped which means you need EWSII aligned with that new vehicle, not because of the transmission, but because of EWS. In this case of auto to manual, there is no need for a new DME at all, let alone reprogramming of it.
As for the transmission light coming on, you remove the bulb or put a manual engine harness on the car. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Well, 3.15 doesnt exist for the semi-trialing arm suspension the last time i checked, but you can look for it if you want. *shrugs*
Yes you can use your auto differential, but revs will be pretty high, not too bad, but if youre a whiner like most, you wont like it.
Hopefully your transmission comes with shift linkage, which id like to think it will. This is the time to get a short shift kit if you want, since everything is out.
Dont forget your pilot bearing, but id assume your tech will know this.
Transmission brace and mounts.
Everything else i didnt cover, im sure your tech will cover for you...hopefully. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

what you mean WHINER ? like it'll need shift late rpms ?

where is the best place to buy the short shift kit for best reliablity and perf ? __________________ was the 1 an only Bagged Ti on 19's!! | | | | | 02-14-2009, 04:54 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
Depends on what you want and who you ask. If you ask me, understeer.com has budget kits for under 100$, someone else may tell you to go buy a 3-400$ kit elsewhere. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone
