    Default gearbox that goes straight on?

    need a new gear box quick before the old bastard trys to get an auto!!

    he is getting ripped off!!
    some stuipd ass mofo is saying that its $1700 for his labour and to get a "reconditioned" auto.

    i really want/need a manual!! but then the old bastard is having a sook cause the clutch and the ecu cost also he recons it will be hard as to put clutch in and i do need it done in a 8 days!! =\ shitta!!!

    any ideas??
    ebay has a celica 5speed he says it will go in commodores toranas and just about everything.. they decent? will it take the crunch?

    there is a rebuilt 5speed and engine from queensland somewhere with pedals and the engine though!!! for $550. thats good but postage could be a bitch!!


    help help help!!

    needs to be done quick as i dont want this shitty bloody auto again!!

    The auto ecu will work just fine.I can probably find a manual vehicle in mackay for around $700.Juct a simple case of swapping over the whole box & dice.Takes approx 2 days to convert.Hardest part is removing the old spigot bush.

    That price on the auto, is it drive in drive out?

    I was quoted $1850 drive in drive out on a VLT auto, but it is just a standard rebuild, strong auto boxes are over $3000.

    Celica 5 speeds are ok, but supra are better.

    Does sound like your car will be able to go round the block - remind me if you ever put a post to sell it on this forum for me to add some comment to your post (like you did mine) that suggest that you may think that the car wouldn/t make it a certain distance - I usually wouldn't care but the time for me to redo the post is wasting my time.
