Time for a change

[Traditimeour]

Well i just got back from the automatic transmission mechanic. He told me that when he took the pan off of my car that it was full of metal shaving, that it had propably thrown a bearing, or that something had disintigrated, and i had better start saving my pennies, blah blah blah.

All i heard was time to stick in a nice lovely 5 speed manual.

My only prob is i would not have a clue on where to start and where to go. :confused:

So please feel free to give me all your wonderful advice.

If there is anything south or west of brisbane (Ipswich or Browns Plains way) that would be good.

For Cefiro rb20de.

cool...

well i am just getting the parts for my manual conversion.. so far i have clutch (to be reconditioned), pressure plate, gearbox, lightened flywheel, manual tailshaft, manual cross member, master cylinder, some metal line bits with a box that goes from master cylinder to slave cylinder, pedals.. there is the pretty in cabin stuff but that can be done later. I think that is most of it, although I still need a trust bearing, and clutch fork. Maybe some basic wiring as well?

It seems to fit together as a complete system so I am pretty sure that is all you need. Cost me $700 so far for just the bits but you should budget around $1000 to do it (with rb20det box that is). I'm going to write up a full guide with photos when I change it all over, as there isn't one on here, and there should be..
