Default ef swap ?

with swapping a b series in, the car is auto and im thinking i may keep it that way, have not made that decision yet.

? is are b swap mounts the same for auto and manual, and do i keep the stock shifter or one from the b series trans.

or will it be just less of a hassle to swap to manual?

mounts are different.

Swap to manuel!
all you need extra when doing a bseries and converting to manuel is:
5speed pedal set.
clutch cable
shift linkage (bseries in an ef)

prolly less hassle for manual. whats the point of getting a faster motor if its going to be auto. and also your ecu youll prolly get is for manual

well im not to sure but the pedals of an auto will not let you put in a clutch pedal. i think the brake is to big. and when you swap out the pedal assembly the brake and clutch pedal is on the same hook up. they are like connected. i also think that you have to run a different computer for the tranny.

thats what i meant sorry. a computer for the auto. but one more thing. does the tranny mount need to be different also. something you might want to check on.

thats what i keep hearing but i cant find an exact answer, when i look at swap mounts none say for manual or auto, so im not sure i may just get some cheap mounts from ebay and modify the tranny one. I have been told that the mount on the car needs to be cut and moved but i dont know how far or which way. I know the dent needs to be made for the alternator pulley.
