swapping auto tranny to manual
Hey all....
I have a '95 GT with a 5.0L engine and 4spd stock tranny. The car has 127000 miles on it, and I've finally saved some money and time to work on it. The transmission is in poor shape, but I want to swap the stock auto tranny for a 5spd manual tranny. However, although I know my way around the end of a wrench, I'm not terribly sure about everything I need to do this. Does anyone know where i could get a step-by-step procedure and 'parts needed' list for this. Any other consideration you guys have would also be helpful.
Thanks
Dave
