5 Speed Manual Swap
Hey guys, I really want to do the 5 speed manual swap but I really don't have the confidence, know how or experience doing these things.
I really want to learn and I was wondering if someone who has done the swap before would want to do the swap with me. Thanks, Jordan. |

Heya, it'd be really helpful to meet up with yo guys
I'm in a massive stressful crisis right now with the car, it probably hasn't been serviced in just under a year, the front right CV shaft is gone, the rear diff seal is gone and probably much more problems that I haven't found.. Worst of all it is due for registration on the last day of this month. I'd love to be thinking about doing a 5speed swap but I really need to get these things done first and ASAP, it'd be great if one of you guys wants to give me a hand with it otherwise im gonna be spending about $2500 servicing + pink slip + CTP + rego. I want to learn how to do these things myself and even if I decide to make time for it, I really don't have the space for putting the car up. So if somone wants to help me out, I will be soooooo grateful. I don't have much to offer back besides money and I am willing to let go of my plates if someone wants them. Please help. Jordan. |

With CV Joints, I removed mine and took them to Universal CV Joints in Ingleburn (on Aero Rd). They were reconditioned for a very good price and the quality was outstanding. While the hub is off, clean up the undercarriage of the vehicle with a paintbrush and an icecream bucket with a tiny bit of petrol, that'll remove all the grease it has spat out. While you have the calipers off, it is a good time to check brake pads and replace if necessary. The rear diff seal, I can't help you with that one, but someone who has done a tranny swap may have an insight on the rear diff.

Sorry mate, I'm a bit far afield for that - I am located in country Victoria for the moment, or I'd zip around and take a look.

Front outside CV joint put your head under the car and you will find grease from a broken rubber boot in behind the front discs.
