im thinking about picking up the r-title ws6 from JJs, what do you guys think. me and weaves might go up saturday morning and take a look at it. I could save alot of money on this car. one thing do you guys think i could get it swapped with a 6 sp and how much it would cost me? ---

It can definitely be done… cuz for some reason i’ve looked into it for my T/A (even tho i dont have the money) and all the LT1’s and LS1’s have the same trannys (as far as i know)… I’ve seen where the entire kit, including tranny, master cylinder, pedals, etc. is like 2500… but you’d need it installed, stuff cut for the pedals, and i dont know what someone woudl give you for your auto tranny… its not cheap by any means, but i’d say if you wanna do that, look into how much an aftermarket high performance tranny costs… just some things to think about ---

I could save alot of money on this car. one thing do you guys think i could get it swapped with a 6 sp and how much it would cost me? well as far as buying from JJs, i wouldnt think twice about buying off of them. Brian helps everyone on here out and wont rip anyone off. however, i dont know if i’d buy an auto just to swap a 6spd in it. if i were u i would just wait til a 6spd u want turns up. i wouldnt be surprised if JJs got one soon enough. thats just my opinion. when i sell a car for another, i like to take my time and look at all aspects and weigh the pros and cons. sometimes it takes awhile, but in the end, it usually turns out better. so, just think about it before u go and do something youll regret ---
