Oh Noes! Someone stole my Automatic!

And dropped in a manual.



The nasty "300LB" Automatic, about to be pulled:


Removing the reverse torx, yummy:


Finally, the beast is out. Look at that lightweight flywheel!




Pretty flywheel:


Manual up and ready to go:


SS Clutch line anyone? Thanks Harry.


Now, all I need to do is learn how to drive it. I left the 3.91 open in the rear, and lets just say it pulls like crazy in 1st and 2nd. T'was a fun project, now for some sleep.

learning is easy, perhaps when you have more time you can do a full writeup about it.

BTW good job, I doubt I would have tried.

Congrats Rob!

I rode in his car tonight and the 3.91 is insane. haha

Storamin, yes, that is the UUC SS clutch line. I traded him something for it (was mine), but I don't quite remember what I got out of it. I'm not worried though, with the amount of labor he's helped me with, I owe him a few more.

However I did spend almost $100 getting him wasted downtown the other night...
