Converting Auto to manual.

[pb2unknown]

How much do you think it would cost to make my 2000 cougar into manual from automatic?

[wadespencer99]

16 billion dollars. Unless you search, then it will cost much less :biggrin:

Seriously, click the search button and type it in. It's been covered A LOT.

Also, visit www.teamneco.com and click 'forums'. Go into the DIY/How To section and there is a post that oulines the entire parts list you need to do the swap. If you look in the for sale section here a member named Massiv had everything need to do the swap for sale as a package. You'll just have to check and see if it is still available.

Plan on spending a couple thousand I'd imagine. You need the transmission, subframe, clutch kit, ECU, and lots of other goodies.

Good luck.

for a couple of thousand i may as well buy another toy and mess with it.

[wadespencer99]

Yeah...pretty much the general opinion is that unless you really like your car, you are better off just trading it in for a manual.

If you find a great deal on all the parts and can do the swap yourself, go for it.

More than you can afford pal . . . MTX-75 . . . :cool:

Kidding. Wade is correct though, its just not worth it to do the swap considering the worth of the car.

You gotta get lucky like me to get parts cheap. I had some hookups help me get all my stuff.

I did mine for around 2,000-2,300 w/ svt flywheel, spec clutch, poly mount and gutting precats, and sway bay bushings. I had it posted somewhere, but I can't remember now. But I still need a few things for it to be "complete". Like a shift boot, and MTX wire harness. I just did mine because I blew my ATX. and It would have cost about the same to have someone else install a new atx, So I said f-it, I'll do a swap myself. 4-6 months and 2 bad mtxs later, I have a 5-speed that works.

oh yeah I also had the computer re-tuned by brenspeed for $300-$400. So It goes even faster.

But yeah, I would have just traded it in for another stock mtx coug, if I wasn't 2000 over the worth of the car.
