Twacks joining the cool kids and going manual. (lots of pics)

[twack]

Well the time came and the auto was done. I got a steal of a deal on all of the manual swap parts in awesome condition. I wanted to build up the auto but as some of you may know i got laid off last week so theres no way in the world i could put money in the auto.
Since I now have a lot of spare time and a junk auto i figured it was time to take the plunge and do the swap.

No more giant shifter

Muahahahahah that last pic is full of win!


I had a fun time. You know I like coming up there and helping out. We got quite a bit done since we started at like 8 last night till 3:30 today.


What does that leave then? Drive shaft, cutting the holes for the cables and the slave, mounting the line and swapping pedal assemblies, and also the front axles.

pretty cool man. I'm sure you'll be at least 3 seconds faster with the manual ;) lol.

Thanks for the pics. I haven't done much work on cars and am always curious about how things are done.

Excellent work so far.

Cutting holes with only the grinder wheel and no other cutting tools sucks but hey it works

I spent a good hour or two upsidedown trying to get the damn pedal out. If you want to know what it takes to get a pedal out, here you go
