As stated in Tom's NAME, he drives a 2G which do not have differences like 1G's.

I'm more than aware of that, I was stating it for those who were interested and so they knew the advantages/disadvantages of leaving those parts in.

Also, that is why I mentioned if I were to do the swap in a 1G....

Then you shouldn't quote Tom's question about 2G's when referring to 1G's. You're going to confuse the kiddies.

Somewhere in this, you also should note the rear diff gearing is different in the Auto. So that needs to be changed as well. Some other things to consider are the wiring for the reverse lights, neutral safety etc. Eric likely has the details on those things, he took care of it when we did DJ's conversion a few months ago. There is some cutting on the firewall etc to do to mount the clutch master cylinder as well some creativity involved with the cable install. Not a small project by any means.

What can I use off of a 93 AWD laser 5 speed, to a 92 Eclipse GSX automatic.
I am putting a manual in the GSX.
You need:
*assuming both vehicles are completely stock.
-Transmission w/shifter brackets/etc.
-transfercase
-rear end assembly (atleast the diff, maybe a 4 bolt upgrade if the axles are different).
-slave cylinder
-line from slave cylinder assembly to clutch pedal
-clutch master cylinder assembly (firewall modifications required, as raptor mentioned)
-clutch/flywheel
-starter plate? (not sure on this one but I think they are different
-cams
-exhaust manifold
-turbo w/lines
-injectors
-fuel pump? (again, might be the same)
-ecu
obviously all the reverse wiring sensors/harness/clutch sensor, etc..like raptor mentioned
-shifter cables
-shifter base
-center console
-pedal assembly
Thats all the stuff that has to be 'swapped' or replace I can remember off the top of my head.

Its not an easy task, or a quick one. Good luck.

Mike if you dont mind, What was the total damage (in $s) for doing a AT to MT swap parts included. I would like to get this done in the next couple weeks but i would like something to reference price wise.

I believe Mike did it for free since he likes DJ's perty mouth so much. Maybe I'm wrong, but we all know DJ is broke and Mike is lonely!

I didn't think DJ was that good, so he only got the discounted rate. And he had to supply the parts car. There might have been another stipulation that included the tumbler as well but I could be wrong. ;)

Tom, your probably best off getting a parts car and estimating 2-4k in parts and labor.

If that were to happen again here, it would be around 2000-2500 in labor(1G). DJ got a really good deal, not for the reasons you fucktards mentioned. I would never do it for the same rate again. The cheapest way to do it is for sure to pick up a parts car, at least then, you could sell some of the stuff you didn't use to offset some of the labor costs as well.

AJ is the perv who likes the tumbler, he mentioned several times that he would fit inside it. Don't know if he tried it or not, don't really want to know.
