Auto change to Manual Tranny

[widget777]

I am thinking of changing my tranny from an automatic to a manual. Does anyone have a set of instructions or some special advice that I can read?

You need:

1.Manual pedal box

2.Clutch master cylinder

3. Clutch line for 2

4. Clutch slave cylinder with hose

5.Clutch line clip and body side clip holder at RH rail for 3

6. Clucth kit and clutch through out bearing

7. Clutch sleeve for the bearing

8. Clutch folk with retainer

9 Modifying shift area on your center console

10. Disconnecting kick down valve.

Ａｌｌ the new parts are available from MSA.....

Please note that you might need different specific clutch folk for a slave clylinder.

I urge you to replace rear main seal when you do all of that.

**I have 1, 2, 3, 5 all for $100 of you like.

Use the search function here, lots of info on this. One of the posts the search will pull up is the tech article (link below) I wrote on this subject a couple of years ago. My article doesn't address injection issues, but covers most of the rest.

Your present computer will work with the manual trans. There shouldn't be any injection issues.

Don't forget to install a pilot bushing in the back of the crank!

You forgot a big one Esprist. He also needs a flywheel and flywheel bolts. Also, a manual tranmission (obviously), shifter, and the associated rubber/pleather boots and clips.

Did anyone mention bypassing the neutral start switch? It's probably in the write up. I saw something about disconnecting the kick down valve which I think 'downshift solenoid' is actually what was meant but that would be gone when you remove the trans.

Yeah, I cover the neutral safety switch in my article.

You are very right!

There might be a spacer at the back of crank shft(where flywheel bolts on) on auto trans, and it needs to be come off. You also need engine rear plate and flywheelf for manual trans, I forgot to mention.........
