Theres not really alot of sensors on the A/T so hopefully that will save me a wiring nightmare but who knows. I pulled out the tranny and then moved to the inside and removed the center console and the Automatic shifter. The whole thing is held down by a metal plate which will have to come off and jus replace it with the manual one. This looks like the hardest part because you gotta switch out the cables and the manual cables have a mount kinda thing under the dash... if i can't figure anything else out im gonna drill from the bottom and use a threader. Doesn't look to fun. The 5 speed swap is very possible but very annoying and im not even halfway there. Spent all weekend on it sorta. Im also dreading doing the pedal.
If your gonna do this find a buddy to help and get some booze. lol
The only reason im doin this swap is
1. My tranny went out (filter kept getting clogged by metal shavings)
2. I love manual
3. Found a cheap parts car with only a few things missing
I was just gonna sell my car with a bad tranny but noone would offer a decent price so why not keep it and make it how i want it
IF you can't take auto i would urge you to do it. The feeling ill have when this is done will be the best... until something else fails haha
