i did the 5-speed swap in my driveway, costed me sub 1200 bucks, the car i bought cheap, turboed, i actually got in an accident with my lumina ltz that was turboed got 2500 cash for the damage, bought a montana and put the engine/ turbo setup into that, blew that transmission and sold the turbo kit for 2500,bought my 01 with 60k on it for 3k bucks turboed with a bad tcc selonid on its 2nd trans,


was about to change the trans and blew it up,shattered the input shaft, put another auto in that came with the car and it lasted 2 weeks soi said f-it nddi i hw it should have been done

also on a side note, i blew the auto in my lumina when it was turboed once aswell, so me and autos dont get along with power at all, i abuse them and the 5-speed takes it like a champ where the auto cant, even built
