auto to manual conversion

hey everyone,

i am looking at buying a series 2 rx7. so far it looks to be a nice car. The only problem being IT IS AUTOMATIC!!! anyway, does anyone know if changing it to manual is easy or hard and what modifications i will have to do. Because i can only imagine wat driving an automatic rx7 is like. It would just take away the fun.

all information is appreciated.


cheers

There is a ton of information if you hit up the search button.

It isn't that hard of a swap honestly. Just need the right parts.

S2 conversion is easier...the auto's were the same length as the 5spd (no O/D) so you don't even have to fabricate a bracket to compensate for the length like on mine.

I didn't know you were shipping international now. I may have to come visit your operation.
