need manual tranny flywheel.... personally unless you never plan on selling car don't convert to manual tranny. you will not get the $$$$ back on your car

 

i really dont care about getting the money back. And why are you guys hating on the avatar? Slater was awesome, and my little pony is cool too.

 

oh my tranny is about to go out

 

you can get a used auto tranny for $100 if you look around

 

well sorrow rpmwarz was talkin about his friend who and a junk yard and had a trans. so i was looking at that one.

 

auto trans' cars don't have flywheels.

 

are you sure they dont have flywheels, i could have swarn i saw one when i tool off my starter.

 

they got what you call a flexplate. its thinner than flywheel and bolts to torque converter. it has ring gear made into it for starter.

 

You can keep the A/T counterweight and get a lightweight flywheel if you don't want to get a M/T flywheel. The pilot bearing and seal will be required, as well as a M/T with a clutch, pressure plate, and T/O bearing. The M/T driveshaft will also be necessary. I think your car has a 3.9 rear. You could switch to the 4.1, but it's not necessary. Don't forget the shifter, shifter panel, and starter, as well as the pedals, slave cylinder, master cylinder, clutch hose, etc.



The M/T won't bolt right into the frame because the rear mounting points are different. So you'll need to make a new mount out of some angle iron. I once bought an 86 parts car that was converted from auto to manual, and I noticed that the frame didn't seem to have the holes in the same spots as the M/T cars. Either that or the guy had used an earlier style transmission in the car.



The 89-91 A/T cars have a computer controlled transmission. So you'll have to deal with the wiring issues for the switches, etc. The diagrams can be found in the factory manuals, which you can download at http://www.fc3s.org .



I'm sure that there's alot I left out, but it's a start.

 

ummm maybe ill just get an auto. hehe
