I was just wondering if anyone has done this swap or not, and if so if any major mods need to be done. I'm experienced in switching from an auto to a manual...so i dont need any real "basic info" so to speak. Just any extreme mods.. if anyone knows of any. Only reason why I am really tihinking about doing this swap is because I just have the tranny sitting in the garage, and dearly miss a stick..so much more fun to drive. thanx

82's had a four speed with mechanical linkage. Best bet is to find one of them for parts. The shifter I am not sure about and how you go about mounting the torque arm but I am sure it can be done. Putting a Super T-10 in my Malibu atm using a 84-88 Vette bellhousing, 4th Gen hydros and G-body pedals. Need to make up a bracket to mount the slave cylinder to the Vette Bellhousing, (its allready drilled and tapped for the Vette slave), and add a bracket to the clutch pedal, and that "should" do it. cheers, Bob
