Alright guys i need a flat out answer about swapping out my 700 r4 and putting a manual trans in my car. Now the question is how much do you think it would cost to swap a t5 in or a t56. Also what parts would i need if i'm missing something out of the list Flywheel clutch pressure plate throw out bearing shifter trans center consoleplate pedal assembly hydralic cylinder lines fluid how bout a comp or somethin else thanks a lot in advance oh and is the swap pretty straight foward.

 

been there done that! GOOD LUCK! youre lookin at about $2000 in parts and labor. Good place to start is a junk yard, take out as many parts as you can from this car. Trans, flywheel, bellhousing, clutch(get new), throw out bearing, fork, uppper and lower boot, slave cylinder, clutch pedal assembly and new brake pedal. Buuy a chiltons manual, all the parts are basically listed in there through blow up diagrams. Labor is whats gonna kill you.

 

Yeah i'm gonna do all the labor my self so i hope it isnt that much also what about drive shafts will i need a new one with either the t5 or t56. Thanks.

 

WOO-HOOOO!!!!! 100 posts!! And it only took me...11 months! I gotta come here more often .

About the tranny swap-go with the T56. Its superior to the T5 in every way and is worth the extra grand or so. Regardless of which you choose, you can use your driveshaft for both transmissions as the cases are all the same length (T5, 700R4, T56, 4L60E).

Either swap is pretty straightforward and there are tech articles on this site for both. An average price for a T56 is about $1500 with everything. If you look around, you can find one for a lot less. I've seen them go for as little as $800.
