For $500, as long as its not totally rusted out or anything you're going to be able to sell it for a good profit even if you decide you're to lazy to swap boxes.

The rule with seeing a cheap sprinter is buy first, decide if you want it later...

Well you need to accurately site the clutch master cylinder in the firewall, i.e. cut a hole; and source a pedal box, manual tailshaft, gearbox cross member, rear engine plate, gearbox stays, flywheel, resite the transmission tunnel hole (a bit further forward and wider), rig up reverse light wiring. Levin Trueno magazine Vol 9 has a pictorial write up (in Japanese) if you are still keen!

Just keep it auto, there rare enough (in Aus) anyway, do a full resto on it and make it a perfect daily with some nice suspension/wheels.

It would of been factory manual and changed to an auto from an ae71 if its an 86.
Have u seen it or just picked up the classifieds and ran to the computer. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/huh.gif
