I'd be interested to know where you'd find a manual GB to fit that engine of yours. I wonder if you can get a Swift Sport half cut somewhere and then just cabut the GB from there?

Half cut sells as half cut unless the importer dismantle and sell by parts...

Yes possible last time i saw swift sport half cut with manual cost less then RM 6k. another option is Get M18 block parts and M16 Gearbox you will have more fun driving..

Half cut shop it is. My friend said his friend got for less than 4k for gb and install. Lucky guy.

That depends from car to car. Common then cheaper.
Like my old school half cut bought at RM3.5k years ago then came down as less people look for it, now gone up again because very little left....

i was in the same situation as you. at the end. i sold my 1.5 swift to get the 1.6 sport.

Too expensive just for gearbox only...

Whats m18 block?

M18 is suzuki 1.8 block more power output compare to swift sport 1.6

Use the auto box until kong...then (got big excuse) change to manual. ehehehe....

RM3500 can be handy modding other things for your swift.

Smartest man here. Trying to hunt for a Swift Sport 1.6L half cut just for its manual gearbox is like trying to find Miss Universe in back streets of Jalan Alor. Even if you find one, by the time you're done it'll have the tits from Thailand and ass from Bolehland and assembled by a veterinarian doctor who qualified in Bangladesh.

Pumping RON 97 for the SSS is like having Miss Universe as your girlfriend and you have to maintain her lifestyle with your $$$.

Got to pay to play.

its surprisingly not that hard to find half cuts for swift sport. i always see them on mudah. but i didnt want to go through the hassle and potential problems.

at the end, it was just more economical to get a sport. the ron97 is a killer though. thats the only reason why i still keep my old beat up kelisa.

If there's too many problems in changing auto to manual, then might as well sell it off and get a manual car then.
Like a satria gti. :D
But ive grown into loving this 1.5l slow but steady mostly-driven-by-ladies car. The amount of bahan i got from driving this car from my friends, horrible. But i still love it. I know how to handle it. Sad that i cant change the gearbox to make the driving more interesting without worrying about the maintenance. Sigh.

Not gna sell it. Keeping it for its sentimental value. Now kumpul duit beli kereta manual je lah. Thank you sifus. :bow:

You are smart to think of gb change.I saw many auto swifters do massive NA mod on engine and still loose to myvi,blm or same class manual car.the sluggish swift gearbox is what kills the fun.The engine potent so so only.

let me put the auto gear ratio spec vs manual

FD 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
1.5A 4.144 2.875 1.586 1.000 0.697
1.6MT 4.388 3.25 1.904 1.407 1.064 0.885

the larger the number the better the acceleration.Loiks like swift auto loose in all gear.
MT always have better acceleration than auto.
even u change to MT.you can still change the FD to 4.7 or 5.1 to have much better acceleration.
This is the reason why honda excel in their small cc class by having good gear ratio.

Changing auto to manual gb its not as simple as swapping gearbox and gear lever for swift.u need whole drive shaft aswell and the speedo meter will need to use pivot or rsm as the auto one cannot be use.better to get whole swift sport halfcut ~5 to 6k.transplant 1k.so total of max 7k.the auto gearbox and engine can be sell later.

The Swift is quite a decent car, I agree as I use it daily :D

But I have to say, it belongs to my wife...

Kalau engine swap to 1.6 kena jpj certified true copy right? dont hv kaki to tolong me with that. Then mounting problems. Just want the MT. Then pandai2 turbo kecik with forged internals.
Stock swift so slow A true lady car. Even gf bahan me already after reading pwhyze's comment. Sigh. Must change overall look of the car also la like this. Bring on the greddy body kits yo.

Changing AT to MT also need to go Puspakom inspection and JPJ endorsement...

really? gaddamnit i did not know that then must find kaki la like this. swap m16 terus la. become a sleeper swift

I dont understand why people care about losing to myvis. Power to weight ratio is huge with the swift being a heavier car. And who cares if you lose? The satisfaction of the mod comes from how the car makes you feel. Not if you lose to a myvi or not.
