hey there guyz!

new to the forum.... love it..... magnas are way overlook in this world if you ask me :D

anyways.. my question :)

i have a 96 Altera. i think the transmission is on it's way out (again) and i'm wanting to replace it with a manual. What i'd like to know is.. the 94 model 3.0 v6s.. is that the same motor thats in mine? would a manual from a earlier model bolt on..

also.. where could i get one? i'm in melbourne and everyone i've rung doens't have a clue.. so any insite would be greatly apreciated :)

no as the engines face in different directions

Yep you will need 96 TE onwards gearbox (3.0 or 3.5).

The bad thing is you will be hard pressed getting one, there as rare as hens teeth in a car let alone spare parts :cry:


Anyways, good luck with your mission.

yelp i know all about that i had to wait 3 weeks to find one i nthe end they found one from a tj and put it in my te and dont ask me about the old box as it is sold ;)

i dunno much, buh is it even possible to change from A to M?
dont u need a new engine?

With all the correct parts, you can change to Manual without a hassell.

just need to find thoes parts :)

I blew my diff and half the manual in my car about 4 months ago, and I hate to give you the bad news but its not easy to find those parts :(

couldn't you get them direct from mitsu?

For the discount price of one arm, one leg and a kidney. :)

i did the same as ash about 3 months ago it was cheaper to find a new box
