The car is 10 years older than you!!!! hahahahhahahah

Just a reason to get a mini starter. You'll learn that when stock stuff breaks, till to replace it with something better. That being said, hold the car at 12,000 RPM for 4 minutes.

I dont think the starter is bad.. I think you may have shorted something out when the car got rained in.

Hardest part is getting the auto out and putting the manual petals in. BTW my car is 27yrs old and has never left me stranded or refused to start. Dont blame the age of the car, blame the skill of the mechanic.

A lot of times, but not always cars with high mileage are more reliable, because most of the stuff that will wear out soon or that has deteriorated on a low mileage car has already been replaced on the high mileage one.

Or I replaced everything that was old before it went bad. When I bought my car 5 years ago everything was original down to the plug wires. Then When I put another high mileage but great running engine in it, it also had to original plug wires, I replaced all the normal maintinence items on that engine too.

The hardest part of the t-5 swap is taking the auto trans out. The pedal assembly is easy took me liek 30 minutes when i did it. Its just getting that dam aod un hooked and out from under the car..

My advice when pulling out the aod.... have a punching bag handy... saves alot of knuckle marks on the car and garage walls... and make sure you have the extensions to get the two top bellhousing bolts out... other than that its cake
