8G Auto to Manual Conversion DONE! **UPDATED 02/03/06**

**8gV65spd** · 02-13-2006, 12:41 AM

Every Eclipse from 01-05 are going to be the same. As far as the axles, ABS or Not you can use either of the two. although with the V6 the axles are the same. I didn't realize it until I had taken mine apart. Don't get confused if you have a pair of Eclipse axles with splines on the hub-end. Those are for the ABS models, which the ABS system on the Eclipse is completely different thatn the Galant. Just take a flat tip screw drive and rubber hammer and nock the splined ring off. It should pop off fairly easy.

Thhis coverversion looks like it was for the 2.4L 4 cylinder. Will this work for a V6 galant? If so what parts will I need?

so you dont have to change the ecu on the 2000's??? so by the tutoral all i would need would be transmisson and pedals and all that good stuff i dont need any computer shit? like a 3g 2.4L ecu?

From wich car did you use the clutch/brake pedala and the shiftlinkage?from what other car can you use?

**PR8GG** · 02-15-2007, 03:54 AM

First, thanks for the tutorial, very helpfull; still I have a question: about the Cruise Control, is there any way can we still retain that? I have an Audi Coupe, manual, still have cruise control, so, I guess there has to be a way

**bronxbombr** · 02-15-2007, 10:45 AM

im still workin on it.

"2002-2003: SPEED SENSOR REWIRING IS REQUIRED, STILL UNABLE TO GET RID OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT"

I have an 02' with the v6. There is no way to get the light off after the swap is done? What causes the light to come on?

**fatal1** · 05-08-2007, 07:05 AM

as of now there is no known way to get rid of the light unfortunatelly, the 02 and 03 ecu's are different then the previous versions and cant be swapped between each other, basically the ecu i reading that there is no tranny connected to the car, it will run fine but if you live in a state that requires an inspection you will not pass

**6G72gearhead** · 05-09-2007, 02:10 PM

I'm excited, my tranny goes in this weekend. I've got a GTS trans and everything to do the swap, it all goes in this weekend. My goal is to be able to drive it on my birthday, the 15th.

**Anything Dryft** · 05-25-2007, 02:12 PM

does anybody know the exact code that makes the cel come on?

**bronxbombr** · 05-25-2007, 02:24 PM

didnt Roman already find a solution to this problem and posted it already. I thought i saw it somewhere around here.

the 02 and 03 models as far as i know are the models that have the ses light that cant be cleared as far as i know

i dont remember reading a complete fix for those models, but its possible?

**GOOSEY2099** · 05-25-2007, 03:21 PM

Please read the first post again for all the information and sollutions currently available.

**6G72gearhead** · 05-27-2007, 08:08 PM

I've heard that you can ignore codes with ECU Flash, that will be pretty cool. The trans is in but nothings finished yet. I'm going to work on it till she's running tomorrow. 13 days behind schedule. I'll post a ton of pictures. You guys wont believe what little room I worked with on this one.

**6G72gearhead** · 05-28-2007, 05:24 PM

My passenger side axel is not lining up right. It seems to be about 1/4 inch too long. the only way it will go in is to unbolt the tranny, but when you do that and tighten the trans back up it seems to want to bind on the bearings.

turn the wheel as hard as you can and just play with it it will go in, its common on the 4cyl and the v6 is a bit harder but it will fit in fine just jiggle it around
