Sup br/o/s I drive a Saab 95 2.3L with an autotragic. I love the car and want it in a 5 speed. I know the easiest solution is to buy one but first of all I live in Canada and there so fucking rare to see and when you do see one it's best to shit and auto. Second of all I just got a speeding ticket and want to talk to my insurance company as little as possible. So would it be easiest to buy a donor car and just swap everything or to buy a 5 speed transmission and swap them. What would I need from the donor other than trans ecu and pedal box?

for one thing, this job is clearly not feasible for you to do, and for another, a saab 95 is still going to be a shitbox with a manual
>>
>>16747733
seems like a whole lot of work for absolutely nothing you shouldnt swap unless your auto trans shit the bed. but even then I'd just buy a new car with a manual
>>
>>16747733
On top of this, if you swap it to manual without telling your insurance company, good luck trying to get any money out of them when you claim.
>>
There would be no reason to do a manual swap.

Literally just buy a manual car.

I don't remember telling them it was auto in the first place but I don't plan on making any claims with this car because I only carry liability.
>>
>>16747753
True but every car that sparks interest in me has some stupid meme tax on it adding an extra 2k to the price
>>
>>16747753
You first :^)

>>16747803
Or it's a rusted out shit box with 300000km

You don't have to, the vin number tells them everything about the car.
>>
>>16747874
Oh yea sorry I'm retarded
>>
>>16747879
we already knew that
>>
i think anything would be better than a saab 95
even a mustang

except for bikes
>>
>>16747733
All that work so you can just play with a stick and get peoples approval

go fuck yourself
>>
>>16747962
Other people's approval lol if I wanted that I wouldn't have bought a Saab. Yea it's dumb to want to do this but I'm going to school for mechanics so I look at it as learning opportunity

just bide your time and just wait for one with a manual transmission, in my experience it's worth it.

then keep the other saab so you have 2 of them
