Re: auto to manual conversion

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <wje97@hamp.hampshire.edu>]

You in Maine? Want me to do it? : )
    Eh, it would probably be a PITA to get the car to NH.
    Anyway, you need:
1. The tranny
2. Possibly different engine mounts (definitely different trans mount, possibly
different front and rear mounts as well)
3. Starter
4. Linkage stuff (including some stuff that mounts onto the steering rack... you
MIGHT have to get a steering rack from a manual car, not sure on that one)
5. Clutch
6. Pedal cluster
7. Clutch cable
8. Shifter

    Maybe some more stuff too. Good luck! Definitely go with the conversion...
the fewer automatic transmission roccos out there, the better! : )
