Re: pics from mid-5MT swap on the lemons car

My swap took around 26 hours of solid work.

I would imagine its WAY more straight forward with the kit. at least 5 hours was setting up the pedal box/clutch, and another 5 hours for the crossmember, and an hour or two for the shifter.

Blech. Welding on your back under a car sucks.

The most important tip I can give you is that when you're pushing on something that won't %#&$ing fit, do it with an open palm so that when it finally goes in, and/or your hand slips off, you don't take all the skin off your knuckles.
