Hi guys,
I have an 88GT, bone stock apart from a flowmaster delta force system and off road H pipe. I have just bought a 92 LX for parting out as it had a fairly bad front end smash.
The AOD in my 88GT has a bad TC (wont lock up) or the trans isn't sending the required pressure to the TC to make it lock, either way, its not 100%. THe 92LX has a 5 speed which Im thinking of swapping in to the 88GT.
As I have all of the 92 Im thinking the swap should be fairly straight forward... are there any things I should watch out for? I'll be using the ECU and maf from the 92 so I'll need to pick up a harness that allows me to plug the new ecu in to the current loom (i dont fancy changing the whole harness).
As far as i can figure i need to swap in the pedal box, clutch cable and quadrant etc, trans, drive shaft, probably the transmission cross member (if it differs). I've heard rumors that the H pipes differ between autos and manuals... any ideas on that one?
Will the shifter pop up in the centre console in the same place too? can i just swap the whole panel out that has the auto shifter mounted on it?
lots of questions i know, sorry, just over here in the uk there are hardly any foxes, let alone people swapping transmissions!!!
thanks
