ok its called southside transmissions (details above) but their workshop is in midvale at a place called Carlo's Auto's. took the car there on thursday, got it back the following monday. ended up costing me much more than i presumed, $1299 all up. 600 for conversion, 300 for a new clutch, new spigget bearing and misc other small parts around $50, had to fix the speedo, which stops working when u put in a manual tranny, that was 200, and there was some other stuff which i cant remember. on the plus side, he did a good job:) interior looks very nice and everything seems ok. but i injured my foot the other day and i cant walk on it for at least a week so i cant tell you how it goes until i fix myself up hahahah. youll hear from me then.
