Re: auto to manual

Ok, then the rest of my info probably wont be relevant. But I did do this swap on a 1gb talon, so some of it could be relevant.

What lines and plugs are you talking about exactly??

I know on the 1gb you had to:

Cut the master cylinder hole out (it is templated and easy to do, just awkward)

Cut out the hole for the manual shifter cables as the auto ones ran to a different spot (again templated and easy to do, just awkward)

Remove the TCU (optional, but why not)

Run your clutch lines (no fun at all with engine in, easy with engine out)

Run your new shifter cables (good time to put in the solid bushings)

Mount the shifter (another good time for solid bushings)

then the axles obviously

And also I think you need to swap in a manual ECU as well.... dont quote me on this, but I'm almost positive you have to due to the different engine set-ups, and the fact the ECU will want info from the TCU.... again, not 100%, I swapped mine because I had it available.
