    Default URGENT New Manual conversion! URGENT

    Hey guys,


    Well the car is running fine and great but this is happening!









    That's all pics in FIRST!



    5th






    It seems to be a wrong crossmember or SOMETHING I'm not too sure.. I can't drive it with the knob or console in, but I can without it. Drives great but obviously alot better if i could control my windows, and have it so i'm not hitting my damn hands!

    Any help would be GREAT

    Short wont help as when the console is in i can't even hit first as the shaft hits it.


    Where do you think i could use a shifter that bends back? What model?

    Some people have said Ford ones, but haven't said which.

    $1500 for the conversion, $550 labour to fit, $150 in oils (1L of Dot 4 brake fluid for clutch + flushing out) and 8L of Castol VMX80 (to fill and flush)

    Also cost $880 for the brand new clutch + flywheel setup (retail was $1680)..

    $550 labour is cheap though, and the thing is i got supplied all the wrong items (wrong wiring loom, broken bits all over.. etc) But the mechanic is the one i went to for the cam and shit, he did an extra 4 hours labour and didn't charge me for it.. So yeah.. Without the right loom he had to re-wire reverse switches and stuff.

    If you get a conversion, make sure you get one with everything in tact, unlike the asses who sent me the shit with half of it broken because they were too lazy to take it off the car properly, and supply the wrong loom. (and they gave me warranty so they're ####ed)


    So all up, cost me about $3000. But it's a brand new clutch etc so depends how you wanna do it. I also went and bought a brand new boot + knob for it so everything is brand new haha.
