Hey guys, I've done some searches on manual conversions. It covers alot about the costs and whats needed. But there are not much details which cover what actually needs to be ripped out or how to get it installed. Sorry for being sucha complete newbie, but I'd like to learn a bit about it and actually getting todo it myself. Now, Considering that I've got all the parts ready for the conversion: (I have a 3.0l TE 1996).
1. Can someone tell me what I should do to prepare for the conversion?
2. Preferably some simple procedures on what needs to be removed, installed first?
3. How to trick my original auto ECU?

Thanks for your time guys,
Jeff

Alrighty cheers, how do I mount the clutch pedal on the car? Do you already have a drilled hole or something so we can attach the pedal there?

The firewall should already be drilled and tapped for the pedal box.

Thanks so much man- Do you know how to trick the ECU btw? I heard you need to do it.

Now it makes me start thinking- what happens to reverse lights... how does the car know :S

theres a switch type thing in yur gearbox that tells the lights its in reverse

basically that should get connected to the manual stick aye? if so.. i guess the only problem is putting the gearbox in.. Im thinking off putting it in from underneath... or do you guys recommend from doing it above? And also tricking the ECU...Hmm

the switch is on the gearbox yeh.
do from undearneath. easiest way would b if u took the whole engine out to do it all

if you need any switches,connecters ect i have a massive box of mitsu plugs and what not just let me knoe
