Have fun man! It's a pretty straightforward swap but it can be a little frustrating when the trans won't go that last 1/2".....good luck and you'll love it when you're done!!!


BTW If you need any info drop a line...I've been through this swap once on my car and 3 or 4 times with other people.

Good Luck. Pretty straightforward though. The only thing I can say is be patient, and always measure twice before cutting a hole in the floor. Last thing you want to do is have the shifter hole in the wrong spot. And from experience, not always easy when trying to get the transmission input shaft and the clutch plate lined up while laying on the floor under the car...

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I have some pics of my install if needed as well.

Later
