As it stands, I've tracked down the following for an AOD to M5R2 swap:
Driveshaft, clutch pedal and brake pedal, flywheel, tranny crossmember, center console (which I probably want need as I just want to convert my auto to manual, it can be done right?), clutch master cylinder & reservoir.
And do I really need a new Crossmember? Right now it's got an AOD.
I believe I still need but question the following:
A connector wire harness from the clutch pedal, hydrolic lines/master cylinder
Now if I'm going to be using a 5.0 HO (auto no doubt), do I really need this connector wire? What is it for? And is there anything I've forgotten?
As for the lines and the cylinder, where can I get these items?
HOWEVER, now I'm starting to wonder about rebuilding parts. I've heard that an M5R2 can be rebuilt but at what cost? And where can I get parts. Now I'm thinkin' that this could be a temporary tranny until I build up a reliable AOD or AOD-E which would be more desireable anyway. HOWEVER, it has 200,000 km. No idea whether it was ever rebuilt. How long do these trannys last? It's going behind a 250 to 300 hp motor and really only needs to last another 50,000 km until I could swap in a new tranny the following year.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
