I have a 1984 camaro and i want to switch from a auto tranmission to a 5 speed. I have the auto in now and need some help for the other parts needed in order to switch it over. I am now mechanic, show i try to do this myself or have a garage do it. Thanks for any help.

 

a good start

thanks man, really needed that

 

if i buy a conversion kit will it have all this in it? is it cheaper buying a conversion kit then picking up the pieces seperate?

 

It's probably cheaper to sell your car and buy one that's already a 5spd. The next cheapest option is probably going to be buying a donor car. From there it's up for debate. Most places that will sell you a conversion are probably going to include some pieces you don't need, and probably won't supply everything you do need, and they'll charge a premium for the convenience. Piecing together a swap may be cheaper, but it'll take longer.

 

so i am better off going to a junk yard and stripping the pieces i need from that in order to change it? and thanks

 

If you can find a donor car in the junkyard, one stop shopping is your best bet. Otherwise it's really easy to end up with half the parts and never get it done.

 

ok thanks alot
