5spd worth it?

**99galantES** · 05-23-2011, 09:38 AM

Ok so I've been searching for a 5spd and its nearly impossible to find one for the I4 but today i stumble across one on Craigslist for $250 with a new clutch and 75,xxx miles on it. So out of all the ppl who went 5spd I was wondering if you recommend it or if its well worth it I might be picking it up also would I need the mt ecu from the eclipse

It's definitely worth it. You wouldn't be disappointed.

**99galantES** · 05-23-2011, 11:30 AM

Yeah I really can't pass it up at that price

**QnzMostWanted** · 05-23-2011, 11:38 AM

its definitely worth it

why are you posting and not on your way to steal it from the guy?!?

5 speed is so worth it man. and you wouldnt need to change ecus as i believe the 02-03 are the ones that get check engine lights after the swap. buy the tranny right now for that price and dont worry about all that stuff. buy that, get the rest of the parts then go for it. it made my 7g like a whole new car

**99galantES** · 05-23-2011, 05:08 PM

Oh ok I wasn't sure if I had to change the ecu or not I heard I had to change my driver's side axle now is that true? And the trans is 2hrs and some change from me but my dad works and he has a truck but that shit is def mine

I4's dont need to change axles for the swap

5spd is one of the best mods you can do to your galant

Dude i say its definitely worth it. I went from driving my G (auto) to my 3G eclipse (5Spd) & i love it! & as far as the ECU i would try & get the eclipse MT ecu or the Evo VIII ECU b/c im not sure if the theres a fix for the CEL issue once you go 5spd.

Go for it man, and that just teaches you not to hurry up with it considering the amount of time it took to find one, take your time when swapping it and do it right so your G will be like a new car. GL

According to Goosey's tutorial:
