trans swaps are not all that bad if your mechanically inclined...we did a 5spd swap on my neighbors 92 mustang and it wasnt all that bad. hardest part was installing the clutch pedal. More of a PITA than a difficulty....if you feel confident enough and you can get some of your friends to give you a hand i would give it a shot. and if you dont want to spend over 2 grand like most swaps will cost you...get a parts list of what you need first and hit up your local salvage yards and see if they can help you out. if you end up doin it, let me kno how it goes. Good Luck! :thumb:
