xA Automatic -> Manual Tranny Swap
 

Does anyone have a Manual xA?

Do you want an Automatic?

I am willing to swap transmissions with anyone that has a Manual.

And we can split the cost of what it would take to install.

If someone is willing to do this, please let me know........

you so crazy. 8)

is that really possible? can you do it in an xB :?:

Your 100% better off just trading your car in for a manual, not only will the costs be high, but you will also encounter so many problems that its not worth it. And also your warrenty will be gone.

Kind of amazing really.

The car hasn't even been released to the rest of the country yet... and there's already "I wanna make my car a manual" on the boards?

I thought this was a big deal over on the 300Z forums... I guess while the boards change, the people stay the same?

I've contacted Scion, they said it can be done. But to order a new Manual tranny and install it, they would charge $9,000.

So, anyone want to swap?

Trade your XA auto in for a TC with a six speed!

You can be the first!

You can do it!

Jason, I agree with the psycho dude.

I also agree, turn in your auto for a manual.

pull your parts off it, and ebay that sucker. you will probably get more than you owe on it, then buy another one.

Why didnt you buy a manual tranny in the first place?
It probobly eats you up every time you get rev'd on huh? Are you down-shifting your automatic too?

u should have just bought a manual if u want it.

one post would have been sufficient :? we get the idea.....

why is this posted 7 timeshttp://www.dtmpower.net/forum/images/smilies/hmm.gif

The website was messing up this morning. Even I posted up twice in the nevada forum

I'm not going to trade it in, I've already done too much with it, I just want to add to it.

So:

A: I would like to swap with someone and split the costs.

B: If you guys know of a company that sells xA trannys at a discount.

C: If you know of a company that sells manual racing trannys.

These are my ideas. Just post it here.

Thanks......

converting to manual is far harder job then people expect. it the long run it is not really worth it.

what are you trying to achieve by doing the swap?

I want to race at the track. So I do it with this, or I save up for the 1998 Toyota Supra that I've been wanting forever.

I'm also more comfortable with a manual.

So, why did I not get a manual xA?


:roll: Because I'm an idiot.

if you plan on racing this, i would definately go for the swap. if it is a daily driver then i would probably think it wouldn't be the best thing to do. my friend did a auto to manual swap on his 98 prelude and he is doing pretty good with it. make sure you get good work and go for the cheapest. i will see if i can find anything around here. couldn't you also pull the tranny from an echo? there are more of those around then a scion.
