Tom, you are a N00b so I really could care less of your opinion

John and SilverSpear, any reason you two both want to put 6 speeds in your vehicles and yet feel that this is something you would not want?? or are u just trying tobe "different"?

dubya tee eff?

Why would I want a kit when I can do the fabricating/labor myself?

That's the only 'no' option, it's not a matter of being different

Tom

Well you know where my vote is

Ok, went and picked up a ton of stock and a good frame for making the jig. Unfortunately I do not have enough time today to go ahead and pull the X-member. Recreate it, then make a jig for it. That will have to wait until next week or maybe later tonight if I get off of work earlier than expected

If anyone seriously interested want to send me a pedal assembly and shift linkage, please do. I would like to get this started as soon as possible. The first person who sends me these parts will be credited. Also, any parts like brake boosters and the likes will also be credited as well. I can also use a couple SVX brake and gas pedals as well.

I just never wanted to have a 5 speed, always wanted a 6 speed, won't happen any time soon though

[TomsSVX]

Well I will offer the 6speed kit as well as most of the parts are exchangable with the 5mt like the X-member and the pedal assembly. Infact i will be using my 6mt X-member to make the jig.

Thanks to Eric for giving me a hand with redoing the X-member in the silver. We basicallyt created a work of art with the new design. Pics to come later when I can link up my camera to the computer. This will be the X-member that we will make a jig from. The pedal Jig will be made with the stock brake pedal as a template. I could make a jig for the shifter linkage as well but I am not sure there is a need to do that. Anyway, after I do Tom's car on Saturday I should be able get working on the X-member jig on sunday. I need some parts for the first kit as it will be tested on Mike621's car to make sure the jigs are accurate. Then I can begin production. Still tossing around the costs for materials and stuff so I should have a roundabout price for the kit in about 2 weeks

You need to change your signature:

One of these days I will get my hands clean and my head will touch a pillow for a few hours!

Keep up the good work, but don't kill yourself in the process . . .

Why can't we get a "Tom" in the NorthWest?

Tom, thanks for making a kit that takes all the guesswork out of the conversion for people that are mechanically inclined but fabricationally challenged. Do you plan on selling the pedal assys and x-members exclusivly or can we send you are own to be modified?.....thanks

[TomsSVX]

Please send me them. i am gonna need a few to make the first batch. I could really use an SVX brake and gas pedal as soon as possible

Tom

[TomsSVX]

OK pictures are loaded up into the locker and here ladies and gentlemen is the most ultimate 5/6mt X-member.



It is a brain child of mine and It'sJustEric. He came over the other night and we whipped it up with the quickness. Now I need to take it back out this weekend and make a jig with it

I are guineapig.

[TomsSVX]

Mike, call me. I have some good news for ya

" fabricationally challenged" I like that but for me its just the matter of affording the tools...
