Anybody in calgary ever done a 5 speed swap, after reconsidering selling it, I am going to keep it now, and the 5 speed swap is about third on my list of to do's. 1st being the cv joint (which just went a couple days ago) and second being a tranny cooler.

There are very few Canadian 5spd SVX's (probably less than 5).
Don't know of any in AB.

Motor and transmission is in now. Working on the cross-member. Hoping to fire it up in a week or so.

At least with the short leash there's a chance to drive the 5 speed, maybe . . . With a divorce, the 5 speed will be gone!

Any problems?
Thanks for the contact in Guelph, I will give him a call to get more info. Have any of the 5-speed swappers had any electrical or mechanical problems or glitches since switching over to manual? I have heard on other threads "engine light" on or that the ecu does not recoginize the manual tranmission etc...Cheers

Warning!!
Make Sure You Use Atleast A Stage 2 Clutch Kit.

Yes, I would recomend a clutch able to handle the torque that the Eg33 will throw at it. Also take into consideration of how the car will be driven.
There are no glitches with the swap as long as it is done properly. I have no stall, no cold idle issues, and no vibrations with my 6 speed swap. I have not had any problems with it since I finished minus my mistake on the X-member but that is not a glitch Tom |

You won't need it for the 5 speed. If you're thinking you would just keep the cooler in and use it with the 5 speed, that won't work. With the difference in oil viscosity, you would need a different type of cooler for the 5 speed. Dan |
