Ok so my automatic started acting up a few days ago, I won't bother typing it up again because I already made a thread on that here. After that it got progressively worse, and ended up completely not going into any gear( in the middle of the road), resulting in a tow to the shop... then we start it there and it decides to work fine:ohdamn:

So we dropped the pan and the filter was horribly clogged, we cleaned it and it seems to be actually going into gear now but I still plan on just swapping to a 5 speed because the auto is bound to completely die real soon. Could anyone give me

So I have a few questions about doing the swap:

1.If we have a 1g n/a how many parts could we use off that for the swap?

2. Can you use a 1g tranny on a 7 bolt?

3. Do I need a new ecu?

4. Where could I get a good deal on a fwd 5 speed?

I searched but couldn't find anything good on the FWD a/t to 5 speed swap so if anyone has some helpful links/part lists that would be great:hellyeah:
 
The 1g N/A car will be completely useless for you. Nothing will work.
I just got done swapping my car to 5spd a little more than a week
