Auto to Manual conversion?

ok im sure this has been talked about 1000 times before but I need to know if theres any tricky bits in changeing a TE from auto to manual? (5 speed)
I have a auto I have been trying to sell but decided I might make it my daily driver for work.
And does anyone have a 5 speed for sale,including everthing I need to swap?
I have some gemmi parts so maybe we can make a deal?

btw im in Sydney

Are you for real?????!!!!
I have no problums working on a car and I have changed engines and gearbox's more time then your mummy has changed you nappy.
BUT I have never had to change a gem from auto to manual so I was just asking a simple question (or is it that no one here knows???)
But don't worry,I got the info I needed from a REAL forum,and you know where you can shove your mambership!!

it was me that answered your question...on PF i just saw it there first...

and for anyone else who wants to know whats needed to change from manual to auto here it is \....

you will need : tail shaft to go with the manual... pedal box, shifter, clutch cable, speedo cable, brake booster outlet on intake mainifold(auto has a vacume line for auto, you could do without just block the line.) flywheel and clutch....

Diff ratios are the same...3.9:1

will have to cut the shifter hole bigger....

all holes should be cut for the clutch pedal with just a grommet there...

thats about all i can think of...pretty easy really...have fun

90% of the people here now how to do that conversion. the reason they didnt reply was because this is the R AND D forum, which is for people to SHARE INFO ON HOW TO DO STUFF, NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!

try posting in the general chat next time

It is illegal if you cut metal to get your gearbox in
