more 5spd swap q's
 

do i have to change to a legacy starter or will the svx one work with the new setup

Jeff,
You have to use a manual starter, the auto's nose is different....

crap
it said i had to make my psot longer so i did

That's funny :)

...but I paid like $17 for mine used and they're easy to come by

just to answer this, i'm currently sans drivers license so i have to be patient, or very careful on trips to the junk yard.

update have starter, pedal cluster removial is a pain in the ass!!

Try installing them!!!:eek::eek:

Tom

how do i get the bolt that is above the steering column out?

a ratcheting 12mm wrench is what I use... Also I suggest taking the column out

Tom

ok, i don't have racheting wrenches, how does one go about pulling (arg) the column

Just unbolt it (the column)from the dash so it can drop down out of the way so you can get to that bolt...
Take out the drivers seat if you haven't already.

i did it with the column in and I assure you it will take 10 times longer.

not what i wanted to hear but thanks for the advice guess i'll pull the column
