i have an 02 zx2 the transmission is slipping in 1st gear. How much of a hassle is it to swap to a manual? Is it worth it. I just want to put a manual zx2 transmission on the car.
this is an easy swap to do an can be done in one day if you have the skills. Expect at least 2 days though. Day one for removal of auto parts, day 2 for install of mtx parts.
The main things you will need which people always overlook are:
- the crank sensor housing for the mtx
- the wiring ends for the connectors leading from the trans used when replacing the atx wiring ends
- the correct mtx ecu for the application. 98-99 for 98-99 car and 99-03 for 99-03 car
- the motor mount for the top of the trans. This has a provision to hold the clutch hose
I have done this swap for many members, for myself and for many cars i have sold. If i have any auto cars i get with bad trans i just do the swap as it is less time and money to do the swap than it is to rebuild the auto trans
Typically both types of transmissions have the same bell housing that mounts to the block.do I just use a manual from the same year car and the bolts will all match up for the transmission?
4cylinder Is it the same premise for the sedans? I have a 97, is it safe to assume the ATX' are interchangeable between styles?this is an easy swap to do an can be done in one day if you have the skills. Expect at least 2 days though.
