Title: auto to manual swap (FC)
Post by: mjd on May 01, 2012, 11:59:18 PM
Ok so I\'ve done some searching but cant find the answers to all of my questions
 
If I\'m swapping an FC TII from auto to manual, obviously I need the udual box, flywheel, clutch, pedal box, m/c and s/c, but I\'m unsure on a few other bits
 
I\'ve done lots of silly things with hondas over the years and they require the ECU to be swapped, is that the case on the FC too? Also, some of the searhes I\'ve done on here make me wonder whether I need different drive shafts, does anybody know if that\'s correct? and is there anything else major missing from that list?
 
thanks
 
Mike

Hi Mike,

Grinder is looking for an auto box, im sure he will take that box off you if you want a manual box, I think most of us had various parts in the garage that could be used for a conversion (example being is that I have a spare OEM flywheel and 2 clutches lol)

The auto box in the car I\'m looking at is knackered I\'m afraid :(
