#9 of 17 Re: Can I swap the auto trany with a manual trany in my 99 Geo Metro? [chigat] by treesrgrn Feb 25, 2008 (2:50 pm)
Replying to: chigat (Dec 07, 2007 3:18 pm) chig,    I'm in the process of switching a 94 geo motor with a 5 speed tranny, into a 94 geo with an automatic tranny.(motor was bad in the auto) Since it's the whole motor and tranny do you foresee any wiring harness problems? I have already seen the problem with the tranny mount under the battery box. I haven't gotten into the shift linkage or anything yet, I actually just have both motors out and thought I'd see if anyone has done this successfully, and see if anyone has done the motor change also. I have both cars sitting side by side in my shop, so it's pretty easy to see some of the differences.      Thanks for any help you may have!          trees.

Replying to: treesrgrn (Feb 25, 2008 2:50 pm) Well after many days of fooling around with the engine and tranny swap, I can finally say that it's done and works great! I did have to switch the wiring harness also because of the auto tranny.(a couple plugs were diffrent) The tranny mounts are diffrent also but it wasn't a big deal dealing with that. The biggest thing was to switch wireing harness's the dash has to be removed and that is kind of a project.    Would I do it again? probably not, but thats because I'm not going to be driving it, a friend of my son wanted it, but he really wanted a 5 speed.    It can be done and it's really not that Hard, just time consuming.     trees.
#11 of 17 Need to replace 93 Geo Metro convertable top by breezy2 Jul 25, 2008 (3:45 pm)
I have a 93 Geo Metro convertable that I absolutely love especially with the high cost of gas. It needs a new convertable top. I am not too mechanically inclined but am willing to try. What I would like to know would it be possible for 2 novices to install a new convertible top on my Metro?

Try googling "Geo Metro convertible top" and you'll at least get a list of places to start looking. You might even want to ask a local body shop for some leads.

#15 of 17 Changing to 13" wheels on94 metro by kattkisson Dec 19, 2008 (11:11 am)
What is involved with buying 13" wheels for my 94 metro? I understand that I may have to drive the hubs for larger wheel studs but does anything else change? Replies to this message: zenden (Dec 26, 2008 6:34 pm) zaken1 (Jun 15, 2009 8:45 pm)

Replying to: kattkisson (Dec 19, 2008 11:11 am) I put 13's om mine and didn't change anything I check the lugs every 1,500 miles they are not coming loose; I wouldn't worry about changing anything! Just tighten them up after putting them on and don't worry about it, its just a gokart!

Replying to: kattkisson (Dec 19, 2008 11:11 am) I realize this question was asked six months ago; but if anyone comes along who is interested in this relatively common issue, I'd like to add that after putting 13" wheels on my '90 Metro, I was warned by a tire shop that the taper on my lug nuts was just barely large enough to keep the wheel from falling off. Not long afterward, I read a post by a Canadian member; in which he mentioned that Gorilla makes an oversized lug nut specifically for this conversion, which threads onto the stock wheel studs; and that Summit Racing carries them. So I ordered a set, and promptly found that my front end felt a lot more stable. Apparently, the wheels were actually flexing with the stock nuts' smaller taper. So I heartily recommend those Gorilla lug nuts.
