My automatic tranny on my 86 N/A is going out and I've always wanted to get rid of it and swap it with an 88 Manual tranny since i know the 89-91 tranny is alittle different. I'm sure someone here has done this before. What is it that i need though(detailed) I KNOW i need the tranny, driveshaft, clutch, pedal, flywheel,clutch reservoir. How about the ECU and harness? any suggestions. Thanks people.

i dont think you need the ecu or harness. you do need to make a bracket, the at is about .5" longer than the mt.

what braket are you talking about? i'm not sure

Tranny mount bracket. I have everything you need except for a modified bracket for 325 + shipping

You really do!? Where are you located and what year is all the parts that you have. Off what car did it come off and how many miles when you pulled it out? And why?

I am in SC, I have several Parts cars. Tranny was from a 86 GXL has 122,000 miles on it, shifts nice, no grinding. Shipping will be 75 to Fla via truck frieght.

Thanks man! Well i'm still looking around though. There are tons of Rx7's here in Miami. What I really want is all the parts from an 88 FC, with low miles. I've got 80k on my 86FC.



SO HAS ANYONE HERE DONE A CONVERSION BEFORE THAT CAN GIVE ME A FEW TIPS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!! THANKS

All the 86 and 88 parts are the same

except for the steering wheel, and the trunk badges...

picky,picky picky!

LOL!! Hey how about the suspension are they all the same in FC's.

Are they Independant double wishbone suspension just like the Fd's.

Just curious.

Banzaitoyota the price your offering, does that include the tranny, clutch driveshaft, etc. Everything!? Thanks man. hook it up!

Tranny, usable clutch, slave cylinder, master cylinder, pedal box, shifter, driveshaft , non converted cross member. You will nee to buy a new clutch hose.

i am currently doing the swap on my 90 vert so far so good , hey banzaitoyota do u have a pedal assem.(u know the clutch&brake pedals and the brackets) up for sale? how about a shift knob and and boot with the the interior peice that goes around the shifter??? if so drop me a price at my e-mail rx_7_driver@yahoo.com

sorry about changing the subject

I do but it goes along with the tranny I have for sale. If someone buys just the tranny I will sell it. John

I can round up the pedal assembly off an 86 Sport.

hey banzaitoyota, whare are you locared at? I'm in PA. I'm looking for a manual transmition and I'm going to put another clutch in my gxl soon so I should change the trans anyhow. It's making some noises.

Its not double wishbone, but fully independent nonetheless.

Thanks for the reply. So the FD's are by far better handleing huh.

BTW I never realized how many automatic 2nd gens are out there.

i have driven both, and i find the fd is hard to drive. it gives you mixed signals, especially downhill. i find the fc and the fb/sa feels very stable and friendly. the fd probably would give you better numbers in strict testing, but i prefer the fc/fb/sa they are easier to drive fast.

or to put it another way, you have to be a better driver to get the same or better out of the fd



mike

I also have both, and i feel alot safer in the FD3rd gen. I haven't lost control in it yet. But i've spun out in my FC. What does FB and SA mean?

I am in Aiken SC

1st gens



mike

How many hours is South Caronlina from Miami. Driving, lol!

Probably 10-12 one way.
