Questionum. im sure my axles wont give regardless of the transmission. Another question i have for you is, ive seen people do this exact same process for barely over $1,000. Is that because they are using used parts? What makes the over all process so expensive?

hey dinger.
My names nick and I drive an '03 triptronic mitsibishi eclipse GS. It drive good; transmission is good. I was wondering, though, how much would it cost for labor && parts for a mechanic to install a 5 speed manual transmission in it. I was also wondering if i could use the flywheel and other parts from my automatic transmission in the swap. thanks.

Hi Nick,
You will need a transmission, clutch assembly, flywheel, possibly axles, installation of a clutch pedal, wiring harness, hydraulic system and a computer (ECU). About $5,000 to $5,500 USD. In an automatic car your "flywheel" is actually called a flexplate and ring gear. This will not work with a standard shift.
