5AT to 6MT Conversion Part 4

Today I removed the 5AT transmission. It took a little longer than I though it would, but it was very hot today 106F (41C), so I was working extra slow!

Of course, in order to remove the transmission you must remove many other parts first. Since my car is a track car, there is no longer any interior, which makes the swap a little easier. Only the starter motor, driveshaft, cover plates, front brace, catalytic converter brace, and the lower O2 sensors had to be removed. The driveshaft for the 5AT model is shorter than the 6MT model, so it must be replaced. Luckily I found used parts for a very good price!


Finally the 5AT is removed!
