Converting From Automatic to 5-speed
Yes I searched. There were 0 matches, which I found odd. Anyway, has anyone converted their 84-85 GS or GSL from an automatic to a 5-speed? I know it won't be easy but it shouldn't be that hard either.

I never have done it, but was planning on it at one point. The hardest part, that looked like to me, would be the instalation of the clutch pedal. I took one out for the conversion and was a bitch, which looked like an impossibility to put back in with out taking out many parts?

I've done it on an '83, but I have parts cars to pull from. You will need the pedals(obviously) and the frame the pedals bolt into. The hole for the clutch/clutch master cyl is already there so no prb there. This was before the day of digital cameras(~10 yrs ago), so I don't have pics of the switch.
Overall the switch was easy.
