tranny swap auto to stick

[94eclipser]

hi,
I was wondering if I should go ahead and do a transmission swap. an auto to a stick or should i just go ahead and buy a 4g63 turbo motor with the transmission? because I have a crappy 1.8 auto that tops out at 100 in 3rd gear which is weird. Please email or reply to this and gimme some info.

Keep doing research through these post and you'll find that alot of people have asked about doing this. I have done it, and it's a big P.I.T.A. But I do like the man. better. I took a complete donor car and did mine and the problem I had was that I used turbo parts in a non turbo car!! It took me 3 weeks to build a wiring harness out of three i had. The only problem is my cruise does'nt work, but oh-well. I just miss wired something, I'm sure as hell not going to tear it apart to fix it!!
