Engine Swap or trannie swap

SL-2er · 04-28-2003, 04:50 PM

My 93' SL-2 still has the transmission locking in gear problems so which would be easier. I have a friend that has a 93 with a blown engine but with a manual transmission. Would it be easier to put my engine in his car or his manual transmission in my car? Has anyone done this and how difficult is the change? Thanks

Either way your gonna love the five speed, but if it was me and his car was in equal condition i'd do the engine swap.
