yup, i have, for th most part, getting everything working mechanically was easy but all the little things were what was the harder part.
I had enough just pulling the pedal assembly and such out just to sell to turbocoupe haha. I dont' think I ever want to go through the hassle of converting an auto to a 5 spd.
I went 5 speed to auto a long time ago due to cash flow then recently went back to the 5 speed due to brackage of autos and i like manuals so every thing was still there just put the clutch petal back on and good to go. Im sure the other way would suck.
well, its not too bad, its not as bad as everyone says it is, as you have patience than it is easy but if u rush it than thats when stuff starts breaking.
Well im done and everything works great im just hopeing everything works great. But man what a differents it pulls and it pulls hard i love the fact that it does that. But man my shifting is rusty i haven't driven stick in 2 years but im getting better. But the most important thing is IM DONE!!!!
that's definately the best part of the swap. Completion!!!! Now go out and practice your launches. And have fun with your freed up power.

Know do so yet i still have to break the clutch in first then i learn how to launch
and i still have to put the clutch braket on but that would be sunday
Hey man good to hear that it's finished up and working good for ya
hey thanks it works great
Its not too hard, it just takes alot of time, blood, and sweat. I have done the conversion to 2 cars.
It's so much easier to go from 5sp to auto
