  • couple questions about aspire

    Okay so how hard is it to put an manual tranny into an automatic,

    and can I put a B6 into one like the festiva, im guessing um yes, but just checking?

    you need the tranny, flywheel, clutch, pedals, shifter, axles.....

    A big job but doable.


    You should be working on pimptiva anyways.

      Maybe it will stay automatic:-)

      I really don't feel like converting it, but my fiance prefers driving standard over automatics. But maybe yvan had the right idea ;-)

      AND I AM WORKING ON PIMPTIVA hehe, just waiting on the new rear tranny mount to finish mounting it tomorrow.

      So many set backs. Plus it looks like simon has done some wire splicing on the harness, I am still trying to figure that out ;-(

      Where did I put my damn TPS senor plug! I lost it

        conversion

        it take about 6.5 h to convert an auto aspire to a 5 speed... not too difficult. but have a donnor car for small things...it is easy to miss small thing

          b3 aspire to b6

          Somewhat difficult. You must use the aspire Maf & Dist & ECU. if you have a 94 95 it is a little easier since it is obd1. Its mostly in the distributor portion of the harness but if you run an msd6 or msd sc you can do without all the cam positioning sensors, just read yvan or whatever article it was about the msd for aspire. As far as ecu no a 94 323 ecu will not work with an aspire without some rewiring, you could try to use the stock 1.3 with the b6 injectors . the main difference is the maf & vaf and the way the dist works. I tried putting a 1.8 sohc in my aspire with the stock ecu and it ran but didnt idle properly and did seem sluggish, however i did do some coolant temp mods and stuff then took it for a spin around the block and laid some major rubber but since it was my daily driver and I didn't have enough time to fine tune it i put the b3 back in. I would really like to see a swap for the aspire without major wiring, I've noticed that the 2nd gen proteges 1.5L have very similar electronics as the aspires, Im wondering if they could work with our cars
