And money! Dont forget money! The other option is to just throw a rachet shifter onto your auto...

RE: automatic to stick

Will the OP need to buy a new hole for the floorboard or will the existing hole be ok???

I don't know for sureif the hole is the same for an auto and a manual, if it is different, someone here might be looking for an auto hole, you might be able to work out a trade or sell it or somthing...

New speedometer cable.
New hole in firewall for speedometer cable (not sure - required on a 64-66).
Shifter plate.

I made the switch from C4 to Toploader and did not need: new speedo cable, new hole in firewall & there is no shifter plate (bolts right onto tranny).

What year car are we talking about? On my 65, I did not need some of the things listed here ie. used the same driveshaft without needing to alter it in any way.
