start with the upper hole, and if more traction is needed, try the lower hole

Haha, thanks Bigcat. This is kind of a big jump for most people....but when they decide to do it the manual will help. Every once in a while (just recently) a flurry of people start looking for the manual.

Finished

I finished with my swap and everything went smoothly. I replaced the harness and PCM. I have not done the cruise control features. I'll add a version of my swap soon. A note to others; If you want to go with an after market shifter, most of them require reusing the parts of the stock manual shifter assembly. newtakeoff.com sells that for about 50.00 and it includes the rubber lower and upper leather boots


My old parts are for sale on ebay sold together

I have done so many 5-spd swaps here that i can do most if all parts are available in about 5-8hrs. But all have been fox on up to SN-95 cars, never any s-197's... but i imagine there isnt much more than the usuall right? PCM and re-cal, and all the driveline-pedals. Just curious because I know the day is coming when someone is gonna be like "dale can you do a s-197 swap?"

My parts list has a note on the bottom of the page explaining the shifter details. When I got one from newtakeoff.com it only came with the shifter and linkage rod. That was for an '07 I did for a guy.

Dalemllms, it's not complicated. Read over the link on the first post.
