cool (Keyan check your PM)
my transmission swap
its in..
i still have 3 things left to do.
the steering rack needs to get bolted in and to the steering column.
And I bolted up the starter and tried to start the car. sounded horrible. I come to find out the m/t and a/t starters are different? Looks like I'm going to spend 125 dollars of money I don't have to get a m/t one because I never pulled it off the junk car.
I also have to work out the wiring for the starter circuit. I jumped 2 wires that I thought i needed to jump (power to the line that senses if the car is in P or N) and when the key was in the on position the starter was going. So I need to tap into a "power when crank" wire (somewhere???) in the engine bay and then I'll be good to go with that..
I worked on it for 2 hours last night on my lift, and today I started bright and early at 745, worked straight until a 15 minute lunch brake at 130, and then worked straight until 830pm. I've had a long day and it's not even done yet and will probably end up costing me 125 bucks for a M/T starter

I had to drill through 2 layers of sheet metal of the firewall for the pedals. I did it months ago. That was definately the worst part of the entire swap.
Donor 2001 Elantra = $140 bought, $135 to tow it
New Transmission because donor's got f'ed up (read: destroyed in donor car's accident) = $450
New Throw out bearing = $42
Resurface flywheel = $30
Manual Trans Fluid = Don't remember
I'm sure there is a bunch of other things I don't remember.
I still have to buy a gauge cluster, a manual transmission ECU, and interior shifter boot and m/t center console trim.
yes, but I have an aig bag light because the 05 aig bag wiring system is completely different
My next project is to solder in the old connectors and resistors to make the system happy again uhh....thanks?
