This is awesome taking the mystery out of manual swapping. Manual swapped my v6 05 accord with an Acura tl 6 speed powertrain.

Smarter people are disliking it because it is very dangerously not informative! A lot of newer cars require a lot more work involved mainly to do with electrical. Some cars like my ford fiesta require a manual wiring harness, there are tricks into using your current automatic harness for the manual ecu but research carefully, and know what you are doing. Have an extra car available because some swaps have taken people weeks!

I just bought a automatic Miata and will def be referring to this video. It has given so much insight and the work needed to be done which is a bit but nothing a regular joe can handle 🤙🏽.

[@sebsnts]

im manual swapping my miata at the moment and so far you don't have to take the dash out but tbh most of it is pretty easy. for me I did not have to take out the headers or even the exhaust out. i left it hanging from the resonator to the muffler hanging. and also I worked on it on jackstands so it is possible! Lastly, make sure you have the flywheel bolts for the manual flywheel since they are very different. Miata mecca and ebay are your best friends for finding those bolts since most hardware supply stores will not carry them due to being such a rare bolt size. good luck!

[@dydyanaguilar8748]

Awesome thanks for sharing man, what year is your Miata? And just a curious question if year will matter for most swaps with removing dashes or not

[@sebsnts]

@@dydyanaguilar8748 I have a 2000 NB. 2001 and higher apperently need to replace the starter due to a bracket but I’m no too sure since like I said I have a 2000. The dash did not have to be removed for me but man was it hard removing clips and taking the pedals off. I just reccomend dropping the steering column since it will free up a lot of space to work upside down

[@dydyanaguilar8748]

I have an 07 and I’ll for sure keep that in mind, I still need to replace the canvas too but most likely getting a hard top for it and wanting to wide body it as well, so idk if I’ll do cosmetic or mechanical stuff first because I really do want have a manual

I myself auto to manual swapped my is300 wagon here in the uk as they only sold them as autos and only sold about 600. so true what your saying about auto cars and the life they have mine was high mileage car but super clean with a full service history for a great price. And it was just the challenge i needed next as a home brew mechanic great fun. Love these kind of videos and watching you and Ben work as i also part out fix cars Lexus is200s as a job so its cool to see how you do it there in the states and see the cars that come about and get broken for parts or fixed up and given a new life.

How’d the swap go ?

[@jamesford2942]

A lot of pressure plates have access to the edge of the clutch. I feel that with my finger tips at all three access points and align with edge of the clutch and pressure plate by feel. Works every time. The only time I use a clutch alignment tool is doing a dual disc clutch to align the splines with each other.

[@Pika_Gabe]

Love this! Driving stick is actually safer because you can't text and drive! (Which is probably why most defend auto.) And if you're a passenger and the driver passes out, you can just put it in neutral, pull over, and pull the e-brake.

[@muybitchin2180]

applicable in automatic trans too

[@Billy-gh9ih]

You can text and drive bro you just can’t do it it’s ok it’s a skill I can smoke eat and drive at the same time

[@Pika_Gabe]

@@Billy-gh9ih Yeah a year ago I couldn't, but now I sip my coffee while I drive to work. I still won't look at my phone though because my ADHD ahh gonna forget I'm driving and wreck if I do that 💀. But there ain't no way anyone could heel-toe downshift while eating/texting at the same time. So I should have said is that its just a lot harder to text and drive with a manual when upshifting or downshifting but not impossible cause cruising on the interstate is the same as autos.

Great video bro, one of the best out there but you forgot one thing. You forgot to show the audience how to do the wiring from automatic to manual. There’s a great demand for a video like that

[@alan6832]

I hear old Chryslers need different crank shafts because the crankshafts for automatics have no mounting hole for the pilot bearing. That is the main thing keeping me from manual swapping my 1978 Dodge B-200 van, though I wouldn't mind also getting a smaller engine like from a 2.5 Dakota and putting in the engine and trans as a unit. I want the light engine for extra traction, because I have spent far more time digging out of mud and snow than I have accelerating.

[@ForOdin]

You don’t have to take the dash out....but it helps

[@MrBurndan]

Bread is the best thing hands down to remove pilot bearings. Great video, tons of great info.

[@DAN007thefoxx1]

Can't wait to do this to my '65 Mustang. No ECU to worry about but there is a vacumn fitting in the back of the engine that will have to be blocked off. And I may choose a cable over a hydro clutch.

[@pospc2]

Well this is informative. I have a g35 auto that has a lot of engine mods. I plan to swap to a manual once the auto takes a 💩. Also can tell my G is lowered. It has a little road rash. Another note,if you are doing something and getting frustrated, stop and take a drink and a short time out. Its far better then keep working at it. When you come back with a level head it will likely go easier.

When you swapped the ECU’s did you have to do any reprogramming stuff? Or it was plug n play

Half the stuff I wanted to see your boy did off camera. Like installing the clutch pedal and slave cylinder.

[@MrWilliamtomkinson]

Remember your speedo will be out now because the diff ratio will be wrong. also as a note for new players. not all cars are that easy to swap. take the 3.8 Buick v6, (or v6 Commy motor here in Aus) they auto and manual cranks have a different bolt batten. also some cars like the izizusu trooper (holden jackaroo) have some major changes that need to take place, depending on the model it can be anything from a wiring loom and ecu swap to a complete re fabrication of cross member and chassis components.

[@07baile]

The series one has a different bolt pattern the series two have the same pattern

[@jok3yjesu339]

Honestly manual swaps are really easy on older cars, but my recommendation if you are on a budget slowly buy parts and stuff like the pedals you can install the pedals and just have the clutch pedal sitting there until you get everything but if you are a tight budget slowly buy the parts

I have a '96 Ford Taurus...don't know if that's particularly helpful, but just in case.

[@-smp-scientificmethodpersp838]

Great advice about the clutch alignment tool! Automatically makes this video more useful than other videos on KZbin. Nice coverage on the rear main seal info too. Most of all, you did get a vital piece of information: you didn't forget to cover the info on the pilot barring. Lol that was probably the most useful piece of info, besides the reverse light switch. But, I don't think you guys mentioned anything about the speedometer.

[@billyrudd2786]

Depends on the car... the automatic diff in some cars is a higher ratio, and most of the time, the higher ratio allows for quicker acceleration. It’s not horsepower but it’s free speed so to say

Just finished swapping my 99 NB from auto to manual about 2 months ago. Wasn't too hard, but I agree the auto trans is a beast compared to a 5 speed. The two things that took the longest was fitting the clutch and brake pedal (I didn't realise I could just swap the brake pedal itself and spent probably 4 hours under the dash on my back lol) and the wiring as it isn't that well documented. I managed to get the speedo to work by wiring it to the speedo input pin on the cluster (though I just balled up the wire and shoved it in instead of using a actual pin). I have still yet to wire in the trans neutral switch but the car seems to drive ok without it. I did jump the clutch switch so the car does start without pushing in the clutch. The one downside to manual swapping clean auto Miatas is that none of them came with limited slip diffs from the factory. Also shout out to Ben for having NB speedo sensors for cheap lol, I bought mine from him.

@@achikennugget38 thanks buddy. Also I'm going to do my swap next week and am mechanically experienced and not fazed by that aspect, but the wiring side I am unfamiliar with. What do you mean you jumped the clucth sensor? And what wires are absolutely necessary for start up? I've heard, reverse, speed, and neutral, but can't imagine speed and reverse light sensors impeed with start up. I have also heard that you can use the auto ecu but there is a certain wire in the console required for start up. Any tips would be helpful.

[@achikennugget38]

@@robertofigueroa5011 I've read you can use the auto ecu but I never tried starting mine with the auto ecu. I used a manual ecu for the swapped car and put the auto ecu in my already manual racecar. The auto ecu started like normal in the manual racecar if that helps at all. As far as the wiring goes, I drew out a diagram on what wire goes to what but I can't decipher it now lol. I remember just staring at the wiring diagrams in the factory service manual for a few hours though. I drew out the main auto trans connector that has 9 wires going to it , the speed sensor wires, instrument cluster wires for the speedo, and the auto trans control module wires. For sure I can tell you the black/red and black/blue thicker gauge wires on the auto trans connector can either be wired to the clutch switch or just straight jumped together to engage the starter with or without pushing in the clutch respectively (I just jumped mine as I've read that helps the thrust bearings last longer). After that, uhhh, I have a line drawn connecting the red/yellow and black/yellow wires on the auto trans connector and it's all labeled as "reverse switch". If I remember correctly, the red/yellow is the reverse ground side and the black/yellow is the positive side. I guess that doesn't really matter as I think the reverse switch on the manual trans gets connected to either of those for your reverse lights. Next is the speed sensor, the manual trans has a blue/yellow and blue/white wire and on the auto trans harness side there should be another connector with a straight yellow and straight orange wire, the blue/yellow connects to the yellow and the blue/white connects to the orange. Then from there, you need to find the auto trans control module under the dash and connect the yellow wire from there to one of the pins on the instrument cluster. The pin is on the larger white connector on the left most side of the cluster (from sitting in a US driver's side car, not sure on right hand drive). On that connector, you'll need to either add a proper pin or ball up and shove the wire between the white/red and black/red(or violet, is what I have written down) pins. For the straight orange wire at the auto trans control module under the dash, I have it connecting to the, uhh, "a/t black/white" with another line going to "auto trans control module". I think I may have just jumped the straight orange wire to a black/white wire that is also at the auto trans control module connector under the dash. I would recommend pulling up the factory service manual wiring diagrams and just following all the wires. That's about it, only real thing left would be the trans neutral switch which lets the ecu know when the trans is in neutral but the car runs ok without it (I mean it might effect the idle but I'll let you know if I ever connect it). There's a few posts I found searching around but they are also kind of vague and you'll have to eventually just go at it. Best of luck.

Rear main seal should always be replaced if you open the transmission. It is just a 5-10$ part, who knows it is about to go bad soon? Then you have to do all the hardwork again just to change a simple seal.

tip for the pilot bearing is bread, keep hammering bread into the hole with a piece of wood and itll come out perfect

This is awesome. You guys laid it out very well without any janky bullshit. However that sqeeky sound in the background is horrible. Would love to see you guys put a Lambo Huracan pdk in an old Diablo ! I know you guys love manuals but it would perform better, maybe a sequential with the big hand brake bar style 😎

I'm here about the swap but I also learned what those extensions from harbor freight are called now. I thought they were too cheap to make it square lmao

My reason for manual swapping a car is because my dad doesn't want a manual so he bought the auto. Once I move out and bring the car with me, I will definitely manual swap it.
