While I still search for options for what to do with my wrecked 89
Sentra Sport Coupe with the GA16i engine and 5 speed manual transaxle;
I've spotted for sale an 89 Pulsar with the same engine in need of
transmission work or swap but its an automatic - offered for $500 neg!
It has 191,000 miles and supposedly a rebuilt engine 4 years ago. My
wrecked one has 94,000 miles and I put in a new timing gear chain set
in December of '07. Ran like a champ...sniff sniff
Are the bolt ups the same for both trannys on the same model engine?
How difficult is it to swap an automatic out and stickshift in?
What is the worst and most difficult aspect of this?
Would I be better off trying to find an automatic from the junk yard
and hope its in better shape?
Thanks for any advice.
- Ben
