T-5 Conversion for sale on Ebay

Check it out:

T-5 Conversion Kit on Ebay

Looks like everything you would need sans elbow grease.

What's missing?

How much will it (should it) go for with 75K miles on it?

Gawd, I wish I could do this.

Cool. This is one of those wishlist things for me. Finding all the parts and someone to put it in so that it looks good along with finding the money to do it and all...

You know how it is.

I did this last fall and the car is better with a five speed. But one of the questions you need to ask is the metal tag number on the trans. It should start out with 1352- xxx. The xxx will tell you the type and year of the trans and if it is a World Class or Non- World Class. The World Class is the newer design and will hold up better. My $.02

It looks like everything except for the bolts and the shifer plate,and maybe the backup light wiring.Although I would put a new clutch/pressure plate in it.

It sold for 511 bucks.

I'd call that a good deal.

yes, I was hoping you did not want to put it in the car you have listed. it's a harder to find car and putting a manual in it gives me a chill. but, it's your car just don't tell me
