Little daunting to be the first thread. Just got the memo that the gang moved over here. My project clearly is taking longer to come to fruition than expected but I'm looking to move ahead. I already perused the rather good tech article on the manual swap but it only mentions the old speedcal or speed dial. Has anyone found a suitable replacement or have experience with the Dakota Digital SGI-100BT?
I read somewhere that the ideal ratio is .25 and that the ecu is looking for 8000 pulses per mile. Also, if anyone could point out which master / slave to AN adapters i need to pickup, that would be fantastic. Have dug through a good 10-12 swap threads and the couple that mention the fittings don't give a part number, name, nor size, only that i need a straight one for the slave and a 90 for the master.
I'm probably going to just buy a trans from a local yard and I'm not sure yet if it comes with the shifter or not. Do the aftermarket ones require anything from the factory shifter? Heard a lot of good things about the MGW from XR7 on TCCoA.
Also, trying to remember, I don't need anything special for flywheel? Was planning to grab a 05-10 GT LuK clutch kit. Last thing that I was debating, everyone seems to be going with an aluminum driveshaft, I'm genuinely wondering if its worth the $200-300 premium. Not building a race car, just a fun DD. Oh and length, a length would be handy, I've read 60.5 and 64. Lastly, factory driveshaft is 1310 u-joints aren't they?
