Nice! Bookmarked, and I will follow with interest.
06-09-2008
That looks like a lot of work and a whole lot of fun, and the end result should be pretty fun to drive for sure.
if your showing interest, I say go for it!

Lookin good so far...Can i ask y you are doing this? just out of curosity
06-09-2008
My old tranny bit the dust, and I have always wanted a manual. I also love a good challenge, and three different guys at work told me that it wasn't possible. I don't know about you, but sometimes the best encouragement is being told that is can't be done.Originally Posted by TDCRacing

Oh yeah, I would have to agree with that. Im watching the thread as well out of curiosity. Would be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Thats pretty cool man. I am impressed so far. I really want to see that work
Good luck

I will be following this. Something I have always wanted to do but not now that I have a turbo.
06-12-2008
woww i want my manual back so bad.. i wish i was that crafty to make the stuff needed
07-18-2008
I have made a lot more progress. All I am waiting for now is the flywheel. Having a clutch pedal on the floor makes me grin everytime I see it.
07-18-2008
Im looking forward to the completion of this.
07-19-2008
I can assure you that I want to see the completion even more than you!
07-19-2008
Well I commend you on tackling this task. For all the talk of how difficult it is (and I have no reason to doubt that) and for all the dissuasion you will find when you ask about doing a manual swap you went ahead and tackled it anyway and I like that. I like that you're doing it, that you have kinda kept everyone updated and it looks like you had enough confidence and fortitude to do it and see it through.
So my hats off to ya and I look forward to seeing it running and some more pics and videos maybe. Even if it were to flop on its face (and I see no reason why it would) you at least took on the challenge to find out.

Looks awesome! I will be interested to see how it turns out. Will you have to do something with the pcm since it's supposed to be working with the auto tranny?
07-29-2008
Generally auto pcm's can work with manuals transmissions but not the other way around. Ideally it would be good to change idle RPM's ect.
07-30-2008
I will be. There is a guy around here that will tune it for me when it is all done.
07-30-2008
Man I can't wait until your done and see how that baby's going to do. I also have to give you mad props for taking on a project like this. Awsome job man!!!
07-31-2008
holy crap!!!! good luck bro. and thank you, you helped me make up my mind.
09-07-2008
I have finished. It is a blast to drive!
09-07-2008
Pics, vids?
