2002 AUTO to MANUAL swap?

[tony2002]

any advice, pitfalls, is it do-able? Are there any threads that I should be aware of, i've done a search but didn't come up with much.

TIA!

Lots & LOTS of reading material here - search the archives, the results will keep you busy.

Cheers!

You'll need a new pedal box, clutch master and slave cylinder and of course a new tranny. IIRC the drive shaft is the same

I'm parting out a '76 and have a rust free pedal box, and lightly used clutch master and slave I'd be happy to sell you. Drop me an email if you're interested

Also, strongly consider upgrading to a 5-speed if you're going to go that far.

You are in desktop publishing and you couldn't find "much" in the archives on this subject? Was your computer on? Were you on? Do you hate kittens?

As you will or may have already learned, 5 speed trans fits into an automatic car better than a 4 speed car.. Go 5.

Very good response! You fit in here perfectly.

Cue the musak . . . !

When you make your swap I'd be interested in purchasing the gear selector indicator surround if it's in good shape.
