    Only real problem i had was that when i went to pick up the tranny the slave cylinder wasnt with it so i had to wait a day to get one. But beyond that the car is running as expected, FAST AS HELL.. I can chirp 2nd gear no problem and 3rd if i really push her.. and yes my L10 got turned to soup, when it was pulled found several heat cracks in it, and it caused the tranny temp to spike..

    Ok as for details, you have to use the 3g axles no doubt about it, because the axles have mounting points for the tranny itself, which you will see in the pics 2morrow... As for labor and cost i really cant speak of because the guy who did my work, owed me a HUGE favor so i got a killer break as in labor and parts..

    As for it's feel, lol.. all i can say.. FAST AS HELL..lol.. i really cant break it in 2 fast, we put a new act 2100lb cluth, and Fidanza lightened flywheel... we had the gear ratio's shortened considerably, and my first gears runs out fast and hell, as soon as i step on it, i gotta get ready to shift up to 2nd..lol..

    I think the only real issue im having are the gears are so tight, that if you dont hit the cluth right and shift right, you will stall out, but thats not biggie..lol...

    The lady at the kodak places said by monday i should have my pics done, i have to get them put on cd to i can get them hosted up.. As for right now, new tranny mods, ACT 2100lbs clutch $325.00, and a Fidanza lightened Flywheel $150.00... It does want to stall in first gear, since the eclipse gears are way shorter than what i expected... I have to shift outta first well before torque, or the front wheels will want to spin a lot.. hahaha, the coolest thing about driving a manual in my car, lookin at everyone faces at light, when your rocking it back and forth.. First victim this morning, focus ZX3, lol.. stupid guy, he never had a chance.. Cj, when you get ur aim working, yeah try and make a run down here, right now im portable so i will, try and catch you..

    damn, i need 5 speed bad.

    I love drinving 5 speed, 6 speed is dope too.
    There is a guy in Vegas, who I know, who claims that he can do a swap for me - tranny taken out of 1g DSM cars!
    He knows the engine is reverted 180 degrees, but he claims that his uncle in Puerto Rico has this tranny on his 8 g galant, and there is a way a way to make it work.
    Well, we will see.

    The only reason, that i wouldn't work 5 spd is that I would be afriad I would break a lot of clutches with my turbo.

    Norcal Perfrormance should move to Las Vegas,NV - but so far I haven't heard anything from them.

    I WANT TO SWAP to 5spd bad, so let me know if anybody in CAli, Arizona, Nevad or Utah is able to do it for me cheap!
    Thanks.
    Kemist: DId u contact Level 10 about your broken auto tranny?
    I would. I mean - i still can't belive that the buffed up auto tranny went wrong on u.

    Dj, i really havent gotten a chance to.. When word around here spread that an 8g did the auto to manual swap, i had a lot of calls.. So i've been talking with people, and trying to get time on a dyno to see wha the numbers are.. Because i cant even guess, the power is really sick, and pretty exciting at the same time..lol.. I didnt even know you could swap a 1g DSM tranny to our motor, i was told that it has to be a 2.4L displacement for sure, but who knows.. I cant wait for you guyz to see the pics, hope they came out okay..
