The transmission is already out the car
2000 Mercury Sable Transmission
Its supposed to warp the intake valves when its hot and You turn it off , Its a 4cyl? Just fix it, Dont drive it like that, people will laugh at You, and it wont feel any faster,,I have done that many times but I had a 383 ci. Big-block Roadrunner w./ 400 HP. Its ok then, the flames and sound coming out was way cool, and scared people , but the Police dont really like that sort of thing any more,,
To be honest with you, i would try to just find one in a junk yard somewhere like pull a part. You'd be surprised how many cars have low miles on them that are junked. Cut your cost in half if not 3rds. Good luck!
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avPWK You can not easily convert a front wheel drive car from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission if the manufacturer never offered it as an option. Figure on at least $3000 for parts and a minimum of $5,000 for labor as there will need to be lots of hunting to find compatible parts and lots of custom fabrication. Grand total of $8000 to $10,000+
Running an engine without an exhaust system WILL damage the valves in your engine
