All the ecu harnesses prolly new k members and bell housing there's a thread on somewhere about this. I'm doing the same thing in the spring with the cobra drivetrain
Only thing I like it that with a tuner you can choose your shifts points where you can't with manual. But I guess technically you can since your the one changing gears.
oh really i didnt know that? i bought a tuner a few weeks ago but sent it to sct to have it unlocked. i have a custom tune made for me already but how do u choose ur shift points?
I'm not exactly sure yet. I haven't recieved mine yet but from my research you should be able to select shift points, change rev limiter, and change your top speed with it
On the sct you go threw the menu and it gives you options to adjust to... my 99 has a shift pack in it and a tuner with the shift points messed with and when this car shifts and your on the throttle you def know it shifted... i hate automatic also but this car makes auto fun if i want to mess around... my old fox body i made it 5 speed it wasnt hard to change at all i got the trans fly wheel, clutch, pedals shifter, clutch cable and that's it... easy swap and lots of fun
I'm using my stock ECM with a tune I got from BAMA, I have tried to put the manual ECM in but gave up since you have to get it unlocked for the car. The easy way is to just get a tune from BAMA.
Just FYI, you are lucky to have an 04 auto with the upgraded 4r75w transmission. With a $60 mod called the J-mod you can REALLY firm up the shifts to the point of barking 2nd if you stomp on it. Autos are faster in a straight line and that is just fact, however there is just something about banging gears. You can also pull the trans and throw an aftermarket stall converter in there to REALLY wake up your launches. There is ALSO the option of putting a full manual valve body in with a ratchet shifter if you want to be in full control.
Anyway if you are dead set on a manual swap you need:
-99/00 T-45 or a 3650
-Shifter
-Pedal assy, clutch quadrant/cable
-6 bolt flywheel
-Clutch
-5 spd driveshaft or aluminum driveshaft
-5 spd computer if you don't want to tune out the auto but make sure you get the PATS keys too if you get a new comp
After that its a pretty simple dropping of the old trans/converter/flexplate and installing the 5 spd stuff in its place. If you've ever pulled a trans before you can do this swap.
You can tune the auto computer to be fine with a manual but not the other way around. Unless you do the full manual valve body that is. With that, as far as the car is concerned, its still a manual.
Ya that works for me. I'm pulling the auto for manual.
I got a t45 rebuilt and all the other parts I need (pedals, flywheel, clutch....) all for $600.
I'm putting in myself, so a $600 swap for a newer tranny is well worth it
