Transmission compatability
I'm trying to convert a 1983 automatic hatchback to a manual transmission. I have sourced a 5 speed out of a 2wd wagon from another country. I know this should bolt up, but will the new crossmember from the 2wd wagon bolt up to my hatchback? Any other concerns/input would be greatly appreciated

Dream,
No experience with 2WD, but I would assume not as the AT and MT surely bolt in differently.

Re: Transmission compatability
you could ask on the Facebook page. some of the members there have 2wd auto and manual wagons and might be able to help you. I believe they will be the same as the wagon.

Re: Transmission compatability
Thanks for the input guys. I still haven't found a definitive answer so I suppose I will buy the transmission and cross my fingers. Surely somebody will buy it off of me if it doesn't work out. Thanks again

Great plan! A decisive man of action. This is how to grow the Tercel4wd knowledge base.Dreaminvader wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 7:55 am Thanks for the input guys.
