    Swapping

    Hi


    Has anyone swapped there manual transmission to CVT in the mirage? I want to go automatic, because its very tiring to drive a manual transmission here in my area (traffic).

    Is it possible to swap transmission in the Mirage? What parts are needed to be change? Or do I just sell my MT car and buy a 2nd hand CVT one?

    Its possible to do the swap. However I would imagine it would be a lot easier to sell and buy
    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    I love it when we agree on stuff.

    What daox said. It's possible but it'd likely be cheaper and way easier just to sell and buy what you want.
    You'd need a new flywheel,transmission(obviously),possibly cv axles,shifter,shifter cable,cvt control module,entire under hood and under dash wiring harness(from similarly optioned car of same year),radiator is different for cvt cars. There's probably a lot more stuff that's different too.
    It'd be easier to just buy a wreck and swap everything over. If you found a great deal on one and have endless amounts of time to waste go for it.

    I would vote for selling your car (after reading Fummins' 2nd sentence) & buying what you want, too.

    Sounds easier than buying a CVT & then selling your manual transmission & the parts that go with it.

    CVT shipped from the Philippines to Atlanta. That may add to the cost of the overall project?

    Minor consideration. It'll cost about as much as new filters.

    The rest can be taken care of with ETACS Decoder - just enable the CVT option. Now would be a good time to enable OE cruise control too.

    With Manilla traffic? That clutch is on its last leg for sure! Thats the only time though Im glad I have the CVT, in bumper to bumper traffic the CVT is at its finest.

    Might as well add some extra horsepower stickers while you have the car apart.
