MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER, and I'll consider it!

How long did the clutch last? Was it a new one when you did the swap?Sounds like a good deal. Did you change the ECU?

Clutch was new during swap, made the mistake of getting a cheap clutch, thus it went out due to being unable to hold stock power of SVX. ECU is stock 97 obd2 ecu.

I was told the CEL will stay on because the ECU thinks it is still an Auto when you do the swap to a 97????????

Yeah, it does. What's your point?

[Conn SVX]

how do u stop it from doing that. Will that cause the 94 to do it also?

No, it's only OBD2 cars. And there is no way to stop it. It relys on communication from the TCU. It does not cause any issues with performance.

I am thinking it will fail inspection here in MA though with the CEL on...

[Gearhead843]

It also won't pass inspection if you have a visual inspection. Theres no center cat, due to rust. I welded in a Y, a bung, and its straightpiped from there back.
However, an O2 spacer will fix this so it doesn't throw a code. As for the OBD light due to auto trans ecu missing, well, there's NO fix for that.

Speaking of exhaust ...where are the tail pipes? what is that thing over the radio ? (looks like a clip) Does look like a nice car.

Exhaust is half done, good all the way to just behind rear diff, was in the process of obtaining a new vibrant muffler, but ran out of cash.

As for the thing over the radio, well that's my flash drive!

I've decided to put her on ebay tomorrow, and let her be up for sale until February. I figure if anyone's gonna buy her, it will be after taxtime. If I have nothing by then, then I guess I will have no choice but to part her out, and scrap the shell.

Oliver, that's not going to help sell the car....
