What kind of trouble would come with switching out my 4spd trans. for a 5spd? I am assuming that it is just bolt on, but I am not sure if the linkage will have to be swapped as well. Also, are the CV axles the same from the 4spd to the 5spd? I just replaced them, and I don't want to have to buy another set at over $100. Any help is appreciated.

Everything is the same except the extra gear...

So no linkage swapping, or anything, just remove the old and bolt in the new? Is the trans. fluid the same amount from the 4spd to the 5spd? I just changed the fluid and put about 2.5-3 quarts in it. Is it more with the extra gear? Thanks for the response.The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

Thanks a lot. I think I may have to head over to Tony Cash for a good 5spd. Does anyone know if he has any good ones? I mean, if the cars are not drivable, is there any way to tell really?The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

Is anyone coming through indiana to head over to Cash's? I can split fuel costs with you if so. I will be getting at least a trans. but maybe a fuel injected engine as well, so you will need to bring a truck depending on what you are getting. If you are headed that way, pm me, and I can get you some directions.The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

Doylerl,
If it wasn't for the fact that we have to have them gone by this Sunday I could help you.
I drive back and forth from Ohio to the mid west more than I'd like.
But, I'm not going to be able to get back in time.
So I'm going to miss out on at least one tranny and a set of pedals for an ATX to manual conversion.
Would have liked a spare, but time isn't available.
Maybe you can hit Tony up for some more time, it worth a shot!
The festiva can easily accommodate an engine and tranny in the back with the seat removed, done it multiple times.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

No... It can easily accommodate 2 engines and 3 transmission,:p with out being stacked on top of each other. That is the most I have ever carried in a festiva, but I am sure it could carry more.Originally posted by Pu241 View Post
