Manual swap in Aus?

spleen_merchant · #1 10-03-2011, 05:47 PM

Does anyone have any experience getting a manual swap performed here? Can someone recommend a mechanic/performance shop who will do this sort of work?
Cheers,
Jeremy.

while ive never done one, I do own a manual converted SVX and im pretty sure i could replicate it . its quite involved and there is a bit of fab work required with a gearbox mount and a tailshaft, you also need to modify the firewall for the clutch mount, relocate wiring, modift the TC and starter wiring among other things.

I think the plan's going to be to order one of the smallcar basic kits from the US and source the rest of the parts here.

spleen merchant ive heard the small car kits are not the best of quality
and my dad is a welder fabricator and 30+ yrs exp mech as long as we have a fair idea of what needs to be done im sure we can modify whatever needs to be modified ,

thank you oab_au i shall bookmark that link
i still need to find a cheap trans etc or a cheap donor car to get everything il need to do it (hopefully i can find one fairly soon)
