Auto to manual

[HexKrak]

I recently bought my 99 Eclipse gs, and it came with an automatic transmisison. I'm not real fond of this idea, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me just how big of a project it would be to convert this(or have somone convert).

I'm having a mechanic friend of myne look at it this weekend before I start the project slew of upgrades to diagnose a couple rattles I hear when the engine hits about 3.5-4k rpm and then starts winding down.

This forum looks really great, and I've already learned a ton reading through various posts and faqs, and I cant wait to keep everyone updated on my pretty new toy.

Similar concept for 2gs. I did it in my Galant and it was pretty much the same concept as the 1g tutorial:

First let me say welcome. Yes it can be done. Here is a good link to get you started. Most of your questions can be answered by searching the vfaq and 1000 Already Answered Questions websites. You may also find them by searching the archives at dsm.org.

Thanks for that link. Looks pretty good, and was pretty much what I was expecting. Time to start pricing tranny's.
