Default Re: Auto to Manual Swap Write Up. Updated April 1, 2005

Hey axOn, isa gots a question for you. I think we have about beat the "Morality of the Tranny Swap" to death.

So, let's say, that YOU had an automatic tranny and wanted to swap it out. Do you think that the information given is concise enough. Does it have enough detail that it will help you doing the swap? What do you think should be added or removed? Your help would be greatly appreciated because I would like to be able to give the people who want to become one of the 1% the most accurate information I can on this subject.


so far, so good. In the order of most important to least, this is what you need:

A list of tools: specialty tools needed, socket sizes, etc
tips on getting at hard-to-reach fasteners, explain things that are unclear or not obvious in the manuals and/or by looking at it
Pics!!!
ford Part numbers
wierd odds and ends that you need to look out for, parts that might break
fluid capacities, torque specs, clearances, dimensions, etc

Basically, if you see how stuff works on FocusHacks, that helps.

Time Required, Tools Needed, Special Notes, and then a Step By Step how-to, with pics if possible.

As you get it completed, I'd be more than happy to host it (and any photos you have amassed) on my site and give you credit for the walk through.
