Auto to manual help
« on: December 28, 2014, 02:14:10 PM »
Good morning all, looking for some advice and guidance on a potential upgrade on my 82 sx4.  I have the auto transmission in it now, but really want to get an ax15 in it.  I already have the tranny and transfer combo.   

I have done some research on how to swap the vehicle to a manual.  And I am in need of the very basic parts like the clutch and brake peddles, brackets and lines.   What else might I need? Does anyone have these parts for sale? And what technical hurdles will I need to jump?   

I have an indoor shop, cutting and welding abilities, but I have not done anything like this before.   Thanks in advance for your help

First make sure the firewall is strong enough to handle the pedals. You may have to do some reinforcement if it's a bit flimsy.
