I've been searching these forums for a month, and last night was the first time I had something that actually correlated the tranny model number to specific years of eclipses. Most posts just say to use the search function, or that F5M33 is the FWD manual for turbos. And I thought it might be...

Ok, disregard, looks like this bracket is just missing. http://performancepartout.com/transmission-mount-bracket-087-2g-rear-manual/I checked my tranny's code, and it matches a 95-99 FWD M/T per this thread:https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/axle-size-differences-emergency.69045/You know...

Well, the car rolls, and the axles are in, how can I tell if they didn't swap the axles with the 91 with out taking it all apart? I'd hate to go hunt down a 2g tranny to find out it won't fit the 91 axles they swapped out...

Well, it is in fact a 91 tranny. Take a look at that rear roll stop... So it looks like I'm going to be fabricating a rear roll stop for the 91 motor...

The motor came from a FWD 91 (based on VIN). If they left the original 97 tranny in there, and brought the flywheel over from the 91, it sounds like it will be correct. From what I've read, the AWD is a 106 tooth and the FWD is 110, so I assume the 6 or 7 bolt is all that matters. If I...

The 99 actually has a bit of rust, and some minor JB weld on the strut towers and a couple other places. 97 is pretty clean. We're going through the floorpan right now buffing off surface rust and then we'll cover with a sealant before we swap the interiors.We are keeping a good log of...

With the 99 being an Auto and the 97 a Manual, I'm going to keep the 97 shell. It's actually very rust-free, considering how wet the inside was. I'm guessing it got moved from a garage to outside recently and got rained on and leaked in from the convertible top.I've seen the stuff about...

What do you mean "provisions for the mount"? Does that mean the 1G trans can't natively mount to the 2G engine bay? And if it is a 97 trans mounted to a 1G motor, is the 97 flywheel correct, or do I assume that they brought the 6 bolt flywheel over from the 91? I thought I had read that the...

A bit of a newbie thread, but I've done a ton of research and reading of these and other forums. I recently picked up a 97 GST Spyder Manual Transmission, and it looks like they were in the middle of a 6 bolt swap and 16G turbo upgrade. I validated that the block came from a 91 Turbo FWD...
