Try the search feature - this question gets asked about EVERY 3 days or so, and there are tons of info and links on the subject - there are actually 2 REALLY good writeups on it - Oh, all right, try CajunDude and Mike Mercury - but try the Search feature, it really works.

I did a search and came up with nothing for convertor. I've seen the write ups Cajundude and Mike did on rear end swaps but I didn't see a thing on Mikes page about convertor and since Cajuns is a MN6 i doubt he would be putting a convertor in his car.

Ah, OK - try "converter" and see if that gets any better results - not sure if it will, but it's worth a try - I swapped my rear carrier and converter, and I basically followed the two links I gave you above - If you follow those write ups, it's really only an extra step or two to remove the tranny and swap the t/c - I had another write up from somewhere that I used MINIMALLY to supplement the above - I'll see if I can find it, and if it is still an active link and post it if so.
