auto to manual conversion help (SCOTLAND)

Post by vtecred » Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:09 pm

hey people,
not really met anyone off the site at all.

Im from lanarkshire in scotland and was wondering if theres anyone here thats done an auto to manual conversion and would be willing to help me
i have an auto and i am in the process of buying the parts required for the changeover.

If someone would be willing to do this job for me i would happily pay them some money less than garage expenses of course.

any takers?

thanks

Would love to help mate but I am utterly useless at that sort of thing. Willing to pitch in and help with the easy stuff though :D

Ive attempted most jobs on the lude but i have never done the auto to manual conversion
Im sure its well documented somewhere on this forum or maybe on one of the usa sites
Lanark isnt close but i might be able to head over and give you hand if needed :)

I looked into what's involved and intend to help my mate Ross, convert his JDM siR auto to a manual.

I'm sure the guide I found was on preludeuk.
If you get all the parts, down to the brackets that hold the clutch and brake pedals to the floor its a good weekends worth of work if everything goes to plan. Unfortunately I don't have that time to offer now that my weekends involve lots dribble and dirty nappies - my daughters, not mine!

i did mine in two evenings with friends help. As it was engine swap in the same time there was more thinks to do. So not so hard if you have tools and all parts :)
