My car is done and back home! After 2 1/2 months I finally have her back. There are 2 interior trim pieces I'm waiting for because they're on backorder and a new custom console for my boost controller and EDC. Those will be done in a month or so, my car is off to cali next week for something else

Will try and post pics tomorrow of everything.

Thanks but they're already on order with my shop and I've paid already. My car has to go to cali on Tuesday so they need to wait until it comes back.

It is Carbonetic triple carbon clutch and it was a barely used tranny (less than 3K miles).

Trust me..this is not something you want to do yourself unless you are a wiring master. The whole swap is relatively simple until you get to the wiring/ignition especially on an intelli-key equipped car.

It wasn't cheap. Call my shop if you want an accurate quote, I can't give out labor costs...sorry.

Bluetooth has nothing to do with what was done, I'm talking about the keyless start and entry. Everything still works but it was a PITA.

Can you give me a pm of an estimate for parts? For the first time in two years I let someone else "hot chick" drive my car and what happens she puts it in park and all I hear is click click click! Now my transmission drags anywhere under 3rd! I want to compare the price of converting to a 6mt or just rebuilding a transmission! Thanks good write up and powerful thread
