no help, but good luck. after my engine went out and we're replacing it, i know somethings going to go wrong with this tranny, but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. tell me how difficult it is, when it goes, i want to put in a 5 speed.

Yeah, take some pics for the group. Pics are always nice...

I'm planning on doing the auto to manual swap sometime next summer. I've gotta get that 9-bolt under my car first, though.

Cool! Good luck with the swap, dude! Hey did you know Centerforce makes a clutch for that tranny? It might cost the same as a new factory clutch, too. I think it was $200 or so? http://www.centerforce.com And yeah take pictures!!

Especially take some shots of hanging that clutch pedal..
