it would cost as much if not a lil less to just get a manual tranny car. or find someone willing to trade. I think these are the most pointless conversions. ---

Pretty easy swap, most difficult part is installing the pedal assembly (imo). But maybe that’s cause I’ve only done that once and everything else involved in that swap I’ve done numerous times. You’ll want to use a conversion mount. You could shim it, but a mount is a better idea. Nino happens to have one for sale cheap. ![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2885891091_34393308da.jpg) [http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186708](http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186708) ---
