Re: Auto to Manual swap question

ECU PIRATE, you've been holding onto that manual for awhile, lol.

Actually, I was using your Muncie thread to get to the forums for a bit, cause it was one I bookmarked on my browser. Will be doing the same swap as you very soon also, if you're still planning to use the Muncie. My Turbo 350 has about bit the dust, and I'm sick of the nasty slushbox.

There is another member here who modified his manual clutch pedal to use a hydraulic, which is what I will be doing, and he might know some more info about if the auto units can be adapted, but I haven't removed my automatic one yet, to swap in the pedal assembly, it will be about a week or two before I get to mine.

You might have some driveshaft length issues, especially if your running a long tail Turbo 350 in a longbed. I scored a 4 door longbed stock 2 piece shaft to cut down for mine. Single driveshafts don't want to work so well once they get too long, or so I have read.

Youre right about hard to find manual parts, I was hoping to score the hydraulic pedal setup, but there aren't even any manual pedal assemblys on Ebay, let alone the hydraulic units.

Good luck to you, will like to watch how yours comes along also.
