Questioni have a 93 probe. 2.0 eng 5spd trans. the engine is bad and i want to replace it with a 2.0 from a 94 probe but the 94 has a auto trans. is this a relatively easy swap, or is it more comiplicated than i realize? if so, could you lead me to information on how to to it right? thanks,

AnswerDouglas-
You'll definitely need to grab the computer and associated wiring from the '94 since I believe they used an electronically controlled transmission, unlike you 5spd that had no computer control. That'll be the biggest issue. To be honest my knowledge of Probes isn't vast, but I imagine the rest of the swap should go smoothly. You may need some different mounts and certainly a different shifter and linkage, but other than that I wouldn't expect any big speedbumps. Hope this helps.
