AODE to T5 Swap

[doobsstang]

I am wondering if I should do it myself or bring it to a shop. I have never done anything like this before and not sure if I will be able to understand everything that needs to be done. I don't really want to bring it to a shop because of the cost of labor. I am just not sure what I should do. I have all the parts in my garage and I want it in their bad. I just don't want to undertake a project that I cannot finish. Any suggestions or anybody in New Hampshire that would like to help?

Thanks

its not too bad, basically the same thing you would have to do to change a clutch, only with a few extra steps... like swaping out the ECU, swaping pedals and running the clutch cable.

It's pretty much a cake walk. Everything bolts right up and the wiring harness for the pedals are there. You just have to find them. If you've ever changed a clutch before, then you can do the swap. The hardest part is the actual tranny swap because of the labor involved.The tranny harness and the ECU just get swapped out.

I did my own swap, but I had a lift to work on. It would be a bit harder to do on the ground.
