I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the automatic transmission I want, but based on the info in another project I have, I got to thinking about going to a manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch. Going this route seems intriguing right now.
I'm beginning to wonder though, what work would be involved with putting in one of these:
With this install kit (internally balanced fly wheel, hope it's the right tooth count):
I know I'd need something similar to this as well:
On a vehicle originally equipped with a PG, what work would be needed to install the above parts? If it is a lot of floor pan modifications for more than the floor shifter, I'll probably opt out because I'd rather not spend the money for much more body work.
Also, would the original split bench seat and the shifter interfere with each other?
Thanks!
