  • Auto swap into a 5 spd car?

    Hey,

    Anyone ever swapped an auto into a manual festy? I'm wondering how much of a pain it would be , and if theres anything I'd need to know before I do it. Also would an aspire auto swap right in? Haven't had much luck getting my hands on an auto festy or aspire so....thinking of making one lol.

      I know lol, the auto is for my GF . That might actually play in my favor though if somebody has a good auto trans they are tripping over in the garage hehe. What I should probably do is travel down to Missouri and appeal to the Don to hook me up with an auto festy lol.

        Shouldn't be much harder than an auto to manual swap, in fact might be a little easier since you could probably just remove the clutch pedal instead of having to modify or swap the pedal assembly. Just make sure you either find or make a vacuum port to hook up the vac line from the trans, if you don't it doesn't like to shift lol
        No festiva for me ATM...
