About how much does it cost on average to switch a car from an automatic transmission to a manual?
Specifically for something like a crown vic or grand marquis?

DIY: the cost of the transmission
Having it done: the last shred of your dignity. Because you'll be laughed out of the shop. Or ripped off like a jail's worth of buttrape.

>turns an automatic to a manual
>its just a daily drive car
are you doing the work yourself?
it cost me 1.5-2k$ to do my audi. but I had to import a lot of shit from germany and make what I couldnt find. Transmission was 900 alone
>>15438290
Anywhere from $900 to $2000 DIY
$5k + if you take it to a shop to have it done
I converted my escort ZX2 for around $950 and some change but it made it a lot more fun to drive and I'm averaging 3-4 mpg higher on average.
>>15438290
don't
like its a terrible idea and it's a ton of work and it's a ton of money
>>15438307
Probably using it as a hand brake bruh
>>15438356
wat
how the fuck do you figure that
>>15438359
That way he can still put it in Park when parked.
>>15438307
Could be to fool the electronics since most autos only start in park or neutral.
>>15438455
that makes sense, but why not at least chop the shifter off?
Honestly cheaper to find the car in manual assuming it ever came that way no matter how rare.
>>15438477
none of them came with a manual
>>15438307
Are you retarded

Those cars never came in manual, they don't have any provisions for bolting up a clutch pedal or anything like that.
You'll be doing a lot of custom fabrication and stuff, it's gonna be so fucking expensive.
>>15438555
actually he could have got rid of it. just use the trim parts from the marauder
>>15438352
Oh boy
I bought my manual zx2 escort for 250$
O.o

The Crown Vic LX Sport also came with a console shifter.
I swapped my S14 to manual over a couple weekends and it was pretty straightforward although people have written up guides with pictures which helped a lot. Cost around 1500.
Expect to pay a lot more if the car didn't come with a manual option
>>15438555
What makes you say that

>O.o
WHAT YEAR IS IT
>>15440749
damn those must be rare.
sounds like its better to get one of them
>>15438455
He can just bypass the park/neutral safety switch with a little wiring.
>>15438445
But that would not do anything
i have toyota sera i want to manual
how much !! (^.^)
Turn your trip back on CVPI you pathetic fuck
>>15444505
Fukku me senpai
>>15441535
It's an extra measure of safety. Why not keep it?

The parking pawl that stops the car is inside the auto trans that the guy ripped out. P won't work any more than D after the swap.
>>15438290
Enough that it's easier just to buy a new car.
>>15438290
It really shouldnt be terribly expensive.
I imagine you can source many of your parts from mustangs. You will have to cut a relatively precise hole in your floor board. The clutch pedal should be bretty easy with a cable. You will need to modify the wiring harness just a bit. You may have to source a driveshaft. Avoid a late model project car though because they generally have tecus which will stop you dead in your tracks.
>>15438562
a lot of ppl diy it using mustang parts. Not that hard, really. Would only be expensive at a shop...
$500 for the trans, bellhousing, resurfaced flywheel, new clutch, clutch fork, etc... ~$200 in misc. parts (new cable, quadrant, firewall spacer, shifter, boot...)
>>15438311
This
Or
>>15438290
Thousands of dollars if you would like a numbernumber (sort of)
>>15438445
Lol wut
>>15446939
Youre retarded if you don't understand why that wouldn't work
God when will summer end
>>15438445
>>15446939
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, REALLY DUDE?
Plus if you want a full-size sedan with a manual transmission (I don't want to know why), look up "Iraqi Taxi".
>>15438290
people convert smg m3's to manual. not sure on the cost though
>>15438290
