Wow, awesome. How experienced are you with cars, and how hard would you say it was to do? And we need pics of the finished product!

It was really easy, I thought it was going to be harder but its not. I still have some minor details to clean up so that it looks better (i need a rubber washer for the clutch master cyl.) and then I'll post pictures... I have no experience at all with major mechanical work! I totally did not know what I was doing but its pretty self explanatory once you get down to it! I don't have a lot of tools either just a 69 piece tool set from home depot, a drill (only for the holes in the firewall) and a jack and jackstands and that was it. So yeah anyone can do it. I'll post pics when i get a chance. |

QUOTE (erahman85 @ Nov 1, 2009 - 4:43 PM) Yeah You could do it. I hardly ever change my own oil either cuz its just so cheap to have a shop do it... Well, I originally wanted to but my brother said his friends that do it themselves say it's not worth it after needing to dispose of the oil, etc. I'm sure it's not hard to find a place to dispose it though, I could probably take it to any auto shop that does oil changes themselves. One question about the manual swap, how exactly do you mount the clutch pedal? I assume there's some kind of space where it would usually mount, but that is left blank in automatic models. Also, how hard was it to install the shifter assembly? I assume again that there are mounting places where things screw in already existing in the car.
