Unoffcial 5Spd swap list

Don't you just love karma. It can slap you in the face in minutes or jump out of the blue years later and kick you in the nuts.

Yup I guess I thought about that for a while too

Sooo. some questions

Doing the 5 speed swap with a H22 trans, and so far what I understood from this 'now'-confusing list is I can reuse my driver's side axle (and intermediate shaft from my auto? If it has one?) Which contradicts your DIY guide, Badger, see below

75. the intermediate shaft need to be installed onto the block before your new driverside axle can be put in. just slide the shaft all the way into the tranny and match the bolt holes up and install the bolts.

Seems like people are posting mi-nute differents in different threads/forums

You will not be able to use the drivers side axle you have to get the drivers side axle and the intermediate shaft for that side. The only axle you can reuse is the passenger side axle.

It is supposed to be part of the transmission.

I am planing on doing this swap over the Christmas holidays. I am lucky and found an whole 5 speed parts car. it got t-boned on the passenger side and a pillar got bent in a little bit. got the car for dirt cheap. I seen a few pages back some talk about the reverse lights. I am going to switch out the ECUs . will i be covered and still have my reverse lights with the swap is all done? 4 spd A/T to the 5spd M/t

Ok , the clutch pedal has two connectors. Since I'm swapping it from auto to manual those connectors that attach to the pedal shouldn't be there. Pretty sure these are very important, how can i connect these to my car ???
