Hey guys
I was just wondering how hard (or easy) it would be to convert an auto ae71 into a manual? Also what parts would i need to complete it? I will do it with my mates (apprentice mechanic) so he knows a bit more about it than me but just wanted to find out what I'm in for in advance!
thanks for any info.
Definately worth doing it dude, bit of a head fuck because you have to drill a couple of holes, do a search and it will probably be in there.
You need a T-50, Gearbox x-member, manaul pedal box, tailshaft, clutch cable, clutch master, clutch, pressure plate and a manual flywheel. Think thats everything someone will probabaly prove me wrong.

u do need a clutch line, clutch fork and thrust race bearing. I'd suggest getting a whole clutch kit, machine the manual flywheel and make sure u get the clutch fork stuff and the shifter with the box. I stupidly got caught out with that once before.
any ideas how much this might set me back?

or u could go the cheap option and use a t18 t50 and half shaft its about $300 +

Its pretty shit job, and pissed me off hardcore, but I'm pretty much finished now, just need a put gearbox in, and I'm pretty sure you have to connect up some wires or something, but i need to find out what to do as i have no idea.
