Q: Automatic to Standard conversion
I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 3.6L V6 with the automatic transmission in it. The tranny is starting to slip and I want to replace it. I found another eclipse with the same specs, only it's a standard. If I bought the car, could I use all (or most) of the parts from the standard to convert my automatic to a standard? I'm completely ignorant to the entire situation so as much info as possible will be appreciated
