Convert Auto to Manuel Trans......Anyone done it?

[ravenmaster]

With all due respect to everyone stop telling him the w58 tranny is an option. He has a turbo.The w58 never came on the turbo version and he should keep with original standards, specially for a showroom vehicle. Also w58's are notorous for going out sooner on turbo models that have done that swap.

Having done this myself, The people here make very good suggestions USE THE R154 TRANNY, and follow the diretions of the guy in the post above.
Good luck.

-Clutch Master and Release cylinders!!!(needs the hardline that goes from master to release)
-possibly the cross member that goes under transmission
-break pedal assembly from a standard unless you want it in the way of the clutch!
-Pilot bearing and throw out bearings would be great time to replace!
-possibly a 5speed starter!!!

good luck should take you a while to find these parts!

0oh and your cruise control may not work after from jumping with the n/p switch!!!!
