    Default How complicated is it

    Ive read alot of forms on here over the months about manual conversions and how to go about them .
    But what i wanted to know is
    -how many people have compleated a conversion or are going about one
    -and if they found it hard or easy
    -and how long it has taken people to do
    -and lastly the cost and did you have any problems after.

    I was hoping to do it to my vk injected 6 eventualy

    I would think it wouldn't take more than a day. I currently have a 4 speed with clutch and flywheel, but no cable or pedal kit.

    Its not to hard, pedal box is defenately the worst part. Obviously they vary, but some are absolute bastards to line up the bolt holes.
