Question Need help thinking...

Can we just by a manual spd ex motor from hmotorsonline and reuse the automatic transmisson thats on the old motor and put it on the ex motor. Just swaping transmissions? I might be overlooking somthing when doing this but seems like it would work.

See the car is currently a automatic, so I would want to use the ex 5spd swap I get from hmotors and just change out trans? Would that work out?

Yes, i believe you would need to get a 5 speed ecu as well, not to mention the clutch pedal assembly and lines.

just swap the flywheel and throttle body from the automatic motor and you are good to go.
