Donor G for my 5 speed swap, what can i use from her???

Ladies and Gents

I got my hands on a G that was wrecked in the rear I got her for $500 dollars for the whole car, she is a 5 speed model and I was wondering what else other than the logical parts needed for the swap will I need from her?? Example do I stay with the same radiator or do I swap it with the manual G radiator???

Also will it be better to get a new slave cylinder or stay with the same one??

Do I get a new flywheel or do I stay with the same one???

Guys tell me what yall think?

I think you should read the 5spd swap, seriously...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(seth98esT)</div><div class='quotemain'>Parts you need:

7g/2g turbo 5spd transmission
7g/2g turbo rear 5spd transmission perch
7bolt Flywheel
Clutch/Pressure plate
Clutch master cylinder
Clucth slave cylinder
Clutch hydrolic line
Clutch line
Shifter assembley
Shifter cables
Shifter cable bracket
4 metal clips to hold the shifter cables to the bracket and to the shifter assembly
5spd Brake pedal assembly
5spd Clutch pedal assembly

Thats pretty Â*much the parts list ladies and gents. Â*The place fo the master cylinder is market, just cut the holes out and bolt it up. Â*Everything else just replaces the Auto stuff. Â*You might need to wire up a relay for to be able to start the car, I am not sure. Â*I know 4g64terror did something like that. Â*Anywho here is his pics:

(No you do not have to pull your motor, just drop the tranny stright down and jack the new one up)</div>


I know these are all the things needed...................
let me rephrase the question, what parts from the donor car should I buy new instead of getting the old parts from the donor car???

Sorry i didnt make it clear

Maybe the master and slave depending on what condition they are in. Just look them over and judge for yourself.

well the donor car works perfect the engine is working really good its really strong, The only thing i have noticed is sometimes when the car is cold and i try to turn her on the clutch is really soft like its not connected and i just pump it a couple of times and then she gets a little bit harder.

What can cause that???

don't forget about starter - it's different

and get the slowboy racing clutch line

also the gauge housing, but while you have it you might check things like te rear brakes, maybe thay are disc, you could get those parts. this would also be a good time to do a front end donversion if it has a different style front.

but as far as the swap, do read the tutorial, because you would see there is no mention of a radiator https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif

I know i dont need the radiator, if you read carefully it states an example.

The donor car is a 7G S model so it doesnt have anything different than my other 7G S model, the only thing thats different is the transmission.

radiator? are you talking about the automatic transmission cooler? i could see someone confusing that for a radiator. a really small one i guess https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...fault/ohmy.gif

Yeah i know about the transmission cooler its the small looking radiator thats in front of the actual radiator.

if you get rear brakes and do the conversion make sure you get the proportioning valve so you get more power sent to the rear brakes. otherwise you won't be able to make the most use of your added stopping potential. but its unlikely that a s model will have rear disc.

and i never read the 5 speed tutorial cause i doidn't have to. but go ahead and grab the armrest from the 5 speed car. it will be padded. allowing for more comfort while you rest your arm between shifts.

Actually my auto armrest was more padded. But it was too tall, the 5spd console is a lot shorter making for more room to shift.

nah i didn't have to read it cause my car was already 5 speed. lol

okay peano i printed out your tutorial and took it to my think tank and trust me it made for very good reading. works better than FiberCon :fingers:
lol.
nah your tutorial has helped a lot of people. Makes me wish i would have done a few for some of the less popular mods to let people know just how much potential these cars have, and just how easy it is to make them fast if you want to.
oh yeah, and there would be a lot less questions too.
Thats why i love vfaq.com so manyu fun things to do and so many questions answered. maybe we should get more tutorials going.
like gauge installs, and other fun stuff like bushings.[/LIST]

on my 94 es auto the armrest was solid. on the GS 5 speed it has padding inside it and was slightly shorter

Yeah? Anyone have an extra? I hate my armrest.

Anyone can point out where the ball-joint separator between the axle and the tranny and pry it out.

i think you're talking about where the axle hits the tranny. wedge a screwdriver in there and hit it with a hammer a few times. it should budge out a little bit, giving you enough leeway to pull it out by hand via the metal part of the axle's hub.

Guys i got the tranny off my burgandy G, the next thing is to take out the whole engine on my white G so i can then take out the tranny. I know i dont need to take out the whole engine its just that since the white G is wrecked then i rather just take out the engine with the tranny and that way i kill two birds with one shot

good call, it's definitely easier to take them out together as a whole. are you gonna keep your engine, or put in the one from the donor car?

well i am keeping the engine and taking out the tranny and putting the 5 speed tranny in the burgandy G.

as for the engine well i am going to store the engine and maybei might buy a G that has a blown engine and put it in

Guys i finally got the engine and 5 speed tranny out of my donor car, now i plan on sending the engine to a machine shop and have them rebuilt the engine. I plan on taking out the engine from my car and replacing it with the donor engine and transmission after i have the engine rebuilt.

Guys tell me what yall think

are you getting it rebuilt with oem parts? or are you building "up" the motor for some boost/power?

i dont know what your funds are like, but if you're going performance, its only $900 to get your tranny race built from shep

http://www.shepracing.com/sr_serv3.html

if not, then get an lsd insert. again, only if you're going for speed. not sure what your plans are.

Well i plan to rebuilt the engine with oem parts so she can last me at least 4 more years, she is going to be my everyday drive, i plan on putting the ACT Clutch kit that you bought. She is going to be used for everyday things like going to work and doing erans. The GS is going to be my project car once i am done with my everyday car.

you would be fine with a stock organic clutch i imagine. a 2100 wouldn't be overkill but could take anything you throw at it from a daily driver

guys i just started taking out the clutch and brake pedal from the donor car, i will also take out the shifter and the shifter cables and the slave cylinder.

they bolt to the transmission and the mounts bolt to the perches.

here's all 3. the bottom left one is the passenger side perch. the top one is the front perch that the tranny and motor share. the bottom right one slides over your speed sensor plug and bolts to the rear mount thats closest to the firewall.

Ohhhhh ok now i know, yeah i have those, basically i have put all the parts from the automatic tranny in one box and the manual parts on a second box

well guys i just finish taking out everything from the donor car, i have all the parts for the swap laying around my back area. I have also been delayed due to the cops putting a citation on my Burgandy G due to her being in stands and not on her own two front wheels, they say that makes the city value go down so i will have to chill for a couple of days and then start working on my car again.

Also Guys my brother got ahold of a 1995 LS, The car is in mint condition the only problem is that it has a blown engine which we dont care since we have a spare good engine laying around in the house. He bought the car for $325 dollars

Ill see if i get some pics of everything

Haha jeez man, your going to have yourself a Galant junkyard pretty quick. Take pics!

yeah i know, i have a 96-S a 94-GS and i just got rid of a 96-S to get a 95-LS, i love all G's i dont know why i just do they are sexy and light and damn they can be very fast once you put a 5 speed or the engine swap

mind if i PM you some misc part i need? all interior.

damn sorry dude i just got rid of the car today due to the citation i was going to get from the city
