6g72 5-spd manual Galant w/SDS (with pics to prove)

[seth98esT]

Guys its not that hard. Use teh parts list off the i4 tutorial. SAME parts except the mounts which you might be able to use auto mounts, might have to use 5spd mounts, not hard. Parts list, schmarts list. Just find a 3g 5spd v6 in the yard and your set

[FrankMB]

Brian (Stewi) was the one talking about it. She was calling him when they were doing the swap. I chatted with her this morning. Nice gal, knows more than most on here. Very knowledgeable. Looks like there are several things different as compared to the I4 swap. One major thing I remember is that you will need to grind down the passenger axle or get the eclipse one. The car is also bone stock outside, a real sleeper

imo the people who REALLY want this done will do it (regaurdless of not having parts list and tutorials -JET/HYNSIA included), not to be a dick but the whole im waitin for this and that and theres no tutorial bs is gettin old

not tryin to be a dick..u guys know u can pm me w/ any questions....just stopp doubtin yerselves and do it lol

[Cali]

seriously guys, this topic has been beat to death. if you want to do the swap, do the swap. stop worrying so much about whether you're going to have all the parts and shit. i can find numerous threads basically explaining what you need. it's not like your building something from scratch you're just swapping something out.

Cali, when this is my only car, I need to get it done in a weekend. Thats the reason I'm waiting to see what someone else went through. The electrical part is what I want to see, mechanically, I'm fine.

Ya...I'm really not waiting on a tutorial so much as the money to get the parts. Another thing, why do you guys care if we wait and ask questions? You see threads on shit that is verified everyday (ie paint problems). Why don't you go bother those people.

As Chicago pointed out, this is my only car as well. Until one of you guys donate a car for me to use in the mean time. I will ask as much "bullshit" as I possibly can. I don't have time to sit on my ass, car-less, while I wait for a part to come in. Nor do I have the time to sit and figure out why something doesn't match up properly. Besides the main quesiton I was asking is if there is any major differance between Peano's swap and the V6's.

I love the fact that, while no one (save for Roni's bf) has done the swap. You guys seem to think that they know beyond any certainty that its almost exactly like the I4 swap. Not that I'm doubting you guys on that (as far the procedure), but seriously now, there will be some minute differances at the very least. And I would hate to get fucked over just because I rushed head first into it (ie taking your brilliant advice). And finally may I point out that I don't have deep pockets. This swap will cost me a large portion of my income, and thus it is only natural that I become more price elastic. Would you walk into a dealership and buy an expensive car that you knew very little about?

If you guys are getting sick of it, thats your own damn problem. DEAL WITH IT!

What about the number of splines on the axles? Are they exactly the same in both trannys?</div>

1) i hardly doubt anybody will go out of their way just for you to be able to not worry about your "daily driver"
2)common sense tells you "wait, same engine, same platform, hmm...maybe mitsu made things very similar to avoid manufacturing costs!!!
3)if you're extremely worried about getting fucked over, like you said it's your ONLY CAR.
4)if this is going to take up such a huge portion of your income, MAYBE you shouldnt be doing it, and think about what your priorities should be.
5) Did i mention you said it was your DAILY DRIVER and cant AFFORD fuck ups? everybody knows..when you start modding, things WILL FUCK UP. so expect it.

but hey, it's just my opinion, as im sure some will agree with me, but you're entitled to yours to. so we deal with "bullshit", just like you should deal with ours.


just being real.

[ChikagoGTZ]

Wow, It's not like we're noobs man, we just aren't the ones to do something first...especially since we dont have the cash to waste with trial and error. Let us ask questions, it's not like they have to answer, but telling us to go and do it outself doesn't make much sense. Let's just drop everything, since this post is thoroughly ruined and I doubt if Roni's bf is gonna reply to a group as unprofessional as ourselves.

I agree with Jet in every way

I am getting the parts for my swap this up coming week, i am going to go ahead and get it done.

Congrats man. Maybe you can shed some light as to whether there are any major differances. Also did the shop quote you a time frame yet?

club3g actually has tons of good information, you just have to have the patience to read thru alot of the bullshit. there is one guy there that has done an auto to manual swap on his gt and in my opinion there was alot of useful information in that thread.

anyways sorry i sounded all high and mighty in my last post but the point i was trying to make was if you have done enough research on your own, you will have sufficient information to do the swap. if you still have questions or doubts, theres still more researching to do.

just my opinion.

Thanks bro, though what the other guys are suggesting is totally counter-intuitive to what a normal person does. Ask questions, go slow, and do it right the first time around.

I mean isn't that the idea of a forum?</div>

Exactly. MAYBE Cali hates competition with passion...just like his response to my gb thread on liberal grill --anyone else interested? pls pm me

Hey man, thanks for info. I'll take another look at club 3g. It just that, just about every thread that I've seen with people asking about it has resulted in about a dozen replies saying the same useless crap.

Though this is diffrent in that the guy posted his swap (as opposed to asking about it). And I agree there is still much more research to do, though I feel that one of the best ways is to ask people who have done it.

you have got to be shitting me...

anyways...if i was misunderstood then let me clarify....MOST of the time the info is NOT there for you for free from peeple (as is the case right now) thats life....YOU NEED trial and error or else how are you going to learn stuff. this is an expensive hobby...what if u do everything right then u jack up yer auto and the 5spd goes out in two days...it happens..there are TWO local turbo 5spd eclipses that were auto from the factory...i go to the shop that did it...they did NOTHING different than i did on my swap (@ least thats what they told me)

my only point is u have to go out on a limb sumtimes instead of relying on you internet "family" to give u all the answers

as far as the damn competition remark....all i can say is wow...i cant tell you how many pm's ive gotten about this swap (granted i4 not v6) and even tho there are countless threads I MYSELF (and VTEC/STEWI) have written or replied to in regards to this i told everyone the same thing...i retyped the part list for them and told them what to look out for...and if u have any questions pm me or when yer about to actually start workin pm me for my phone number...i know my name wasnt mention'd above but it felt like an "attack" on me as well if it wasnt OH well just staitin that ive never seen ANYONE on this board EVER not have sumone's back on help w/ anything pertaining to a galant (does that mean it doesnt happen NO but IVE never witnessed it)

[VegasMatt]

If you could post the link to the guy on 3g who did the post, if not maybe tonight I will read up on it over there.

Thanks for the lead.

1) i hardly doubt anybody will go out of their way just for you to be able to not worry about your "daily driver"

Since when is posting a simple reply going out of ones way? You make is sound as if a forum member has never gone out of their way to help you out.

2)common sense tells you "wait, same engine, same platform, hmm...maybe mitsu made things very similar to avoid manufacturing costs!!!

Well of course they will be similar. This has been stated numerous times. I have no doubt as to there similiarity. Even the ambigious service manual drawings for both trannys show their similiarities. The word itself is used to describe something that is close, but not quite exact. My question was what are the individual things that will differ. Did you even read the posts above yours? Frank clearly states that the passenger side axle from an automatic is not the correct size (I suspect this to be the case with the driver side as well). If I had followed the I4 swap tutorials without gathering any more info (as you so keenly suggest I should do), I would have run into a problem right their in itself.

3)if you're extremely worried about getting fucked over, like you said it's your ONLY CAR.

4)if this is going to take up such a huge portion of your income, MAYBE you shouldnt be doing it, and think about what your priorities should be.
5) Did i mention you said it was your DAILY DRIVER and cant AFFORD fuck ups? everybody knows..when you start modding, things WILL FUCK UP. so expect it.

I’m guessing your suggesting that I should avoid doing this since you perceive that I’m extremely worried about fucking up my car...correct? Well I am (as I’m sure you are, and just about anyone who has any respect for their vehicle is as well). It comes down to simple economics: risk versus returns (linear and inverse). In this case the more information I can find out about this swap, the more I reduce the risk of doing something wrong. Now tell me, what is the problem you seem to have with this? What your suggesting makes no sense.

And my priorities are well in order, though I do appreciate your concern in this regards.

but hey, it's just my opinion, as im sure some will agree with me, but you're entitled to yours to. so we deal with "bullshit", just like you should deal with ours.


just being real.

Yes since asking for more information is bullshit. Your not being real, your being a clown.[/quote]

im just stating the obvious. if you dont like it fine, that's your opinion and i respect that, but i never crossed the line and insulted you. like hsinya said, if you dont know what else is needed SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH. you think i have a tutorial on doing the swap? please. Stewi's been a big help but it's not like he's giving me step by step instructions because either way i'm not doing it the same way he did. buy a manual for both cars and compare that's really all you need to do.

now you calling me a clown, now i take that personal, and i will talk to you about that in person at the next meet i attend. just because i havent attended any meets LATELY doesnt mean i wont. i've known some of these guys (djplay, sillyazianz, rod, etc..) for while personally and each one will tell you i always try to help them out w/e i can. i'll leave it at that...

and iceberg, please, grow up. you're obviously missing the whole point there. out of all people, you went out and got a CUSTOM bumper made why? because you want to be different right? i bet your whole atitude would change if every other car you saw had your bumper, so for you to say i hate competion please...you have no idea how many various member's i've helped get parts for that i either have or i dont even have for myself. you just want to cheapen the whole the idea of trying to be different. for those who have the drive and money, go for it, and if not, well, we cant all be the same right?

maybe you guys dont like people disagreeing with you?

[Cali]

I am getting the parts for my swap this up coming week, i am going to go ahead and get it done.

good shit. do the damn thing!
