6MT Conversion in Progress
Besides the amount of work it takes, the conversion is relatively simple. I'm using all OEM parts, there is nothing that can really go wrong besides what could normally happen to any car.
Everything is being done to OEM quality. Of course parts can fail but that can happen with any factory car.

Will be selling transmission, drift shaft, center console, brake pedal assembly, torque converter, brand new OEM throw out bearing and sleeve, 04 engine harness that I ended up not needing, OEM 6MT shifter that I ended up not needing, and definitely some more things I can't think of off the top of my head.
Just wanted to do a little update...
Don't have any new pics right now but all the mechanics are done. Clutch lines routed, pedals installed, shifter installed, drift shaft installed. We ran into a problem with the shifter fork not working but it turns out I had the wrong throw out bearing and sleeve. Got that taken care of thanks to Carbonetics quick shipping.

By sleeve are you talking about the little brass bushing (I think its called a pilot bushing) that goes in the little hole on the back of your crank and the imput shaft from the tranny slides into it? I ended up buying a block that was used on an AT car and the 6mt tranny vibrated like crazy due to the brass bushing being different. I had to drop the tranny and pull the clutch and fly wheel to swap it out I was p1ssed. It was a ton of work for a little bushing the size of a pinky ring
so i hope you got that changed out you won't notice it until you go for a drive and when you shift it will vibrate like crazy if you forget it.Flat shifting cures that.

It is only on a manual car, it is supposed to come with my clutch that I bought but it didn't.

cost depends on the buyer. if u want use parts then it can range from 1500-3500 but if u want NEW parts then it can go as hi as 6000. Average labor cost for this job ranges from 2K and up at a shop or FREE if u are doing it yourself.
