lol well i cant say about the russian. more or less the same you will need the pass side axle from a manual eclipse as well though.
roman will take good care of you though. when you plan on doing the swap?
I have a ? i want to do a 5speed swap to my 97 diamante....the 3.5L motor bolts str8 into an eclipse so i was wondering if the eclipse gt 5 speed tranny mount will bolt right up to the diamante i know for a fact that the tranny does bolt up to the motor.

well someone over seas has done the swap to their diamante but i guess ill be the first one in america to do so pretty soon. Slave cylinder, master cylinder, tranny, shifter, shifter linkage, clutch....and is the flywheel the same for the 72 and 74?
You can use 3G eclipse V6 parts, all the parts will fit your 6G74, including flywheel, clutch, shifter linkage, but you will need to get the pedals for a LHD diamante/magna. The shifter assembly is different also, but I think it could be installed in your car. I will post some screen shots of all the parts so you can see the differences. Also, you can check AussieMagna.com
EDIT: Screen shots link: HERE
thanks for the help man! It wont let me sign up for the aussie forums cause of the type of email i need. So shifter and s/linkage may work might need some drilling if anything?? clutch pedal assembly and a brake pedal has to be from over seas?
the tranny will definately work. there are guys running 74 swaps with the 3g transmission
Alright so i can get my hands on a clutch assembly from aussie magna (it shouldnt matter even if they a right hand?)......what type of wiring would i need to do to take this auto out and put the 5spd in? what about the speed sensor and all?
I'm just starting to source all of the parts.. Hopefully by the summer I will have everything. Yeah Romans a good dude.. Haven't seen him in a while though.. Not since the last time I saw you.. We had a meet today too.. Called him later in the afternoon and he was still sleeping.. lolQuote:

i have a couple questions: one where did you get the e-brake handle/boot. also when you put the pedals in you had to change the brake pedal too? in order to make the clutch pedal fit? did those pedals come of of a 3g eclipse as well?
oh
2000 eclipse 2.4 5 speed at my local junk yard.
Let me know if anyone is interested i can pull everything involved with the tranny and ship it.
where you located bro?
hey goosey... I have a question regarding the flywheel -- if u use a 3g flywheel u need the starter spaced bla bla but If i use a 3g stock flywheel can i use my original starter?? And if the stock flywheel is used will the 2g clutch bolt up or do i need to get something for the 3g?? Im gonna try to finish gathering parts for the swap soon.
if you use the 3g stuff you need both the clutch and flywheel from a 3g. your stock starter will work.
if you use a 2g flywheel you need a 2g clutch along with the starter
the benefit of using the 2g stuff when he did his swap was it was cheaper overall for the upgraded components and there was more variety available. plus swapping out a new starter isnt a bad idea when everything is out of the car...
thats why i ask as a matter of fact is because i just bought a starter with lifetime warranty so i want to keep it haha.. Alright thanks for the info
Getting ready to do this, in the next month or so. Im using all parts from the 3g, will I be able to reuse the stock flexplate/flywheel bolts or will I have to get new ones? Also I heard that I need 2 spacers for the flywheel? Im a little confused lol
You have to buy bolts for a manual car because the bolts on your car now are shorter.
