I have a 1987 auto. and i was wondering if i could convert the automatic transmission to a manual. If so how much work and money is involved. Thanks.

Re: Transmission: Auto to Mannual

You'll need a parts car because of the many little parts and the also the larger ones:
Transmission
clutch kit
flywheel
torque tube
shift rod/handle
pedal assembly
clutch master/slave
shifter fork
I'm sure I forgot something but thats some of the stuff. Hunt around for new/ used stuff would be in the range of $1500-$2000-just a guess

Re: Re: Transmission: Auto to Mannual

Ah, sounds good. I new parts aplenty were going to be needed (like you said — donor car), but my main worry was what sort of labor was invloved. IE, whether or not the subframe was universal for both auto and manual, or if they got creative and made two seperate designs. Parts are one thing, knowing where to drill holes, mount linkage rods and bracing, crack firewalls and so forth is a different story.
