1990 ford probe gt turbo 4 cylinder im switching from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission does any one have any suggestions or know any good web sites to look at for answers?|||Well, on a twenty year old car that's worth around $1300, why bother? This isn't a classic car with a great reputation, it's a poorly built ford with dated styling. You can do better. Much better.
This car scored a 38 out of 100 by Consumerguide Automotive(in school, that's an F -- ). Poor ride quality, poor controls/materials, a very noisy ride, and early failure of the turbo fours were some of the low-lights. Souping this car up is like putting breast implants in a 70 year old woman.
If you do succeed with this project, don't ever leave your wallet at home. With the added stress placed on the aging engine and suspension, you'll be amazed at how fast things start to break.
I'd save up a little more dough, sell this thing off (it books around $1300), and get yourself a civic, celica, eclipse,etc. For around $2500 you can get any one of these cars in nice shape, with a reliable factory installed manual tranny. With the sale of your car, and the $ you save not doing the tranny, you're already really close.|||You could buy a manual shift probe a lot cheaper that making yours manual.
clutch pedal linkage assembly, brake pedal assy, transmission, cv axles, clutch kit, clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, shifter assy, shifter linkage, flywheel, starter, computer, wiring harness, labor.
Many of these parts could be obsolete and unavailable. you could spend 4-5 times what the car is worth.|||advice is dont...after 1000 in cost maybe 1500 it will not run well unless you change ECU trade it in on your dream car..
