im a prety experienced mechanic ive had a fd for 6 years now..just finished swapping engines, goin single and a haltech wire up
any idead of if its possible and anyone done it??..how hard...should i just say the hell with it and keep it auto...
thanks guys

I did it, and you bet your *** it's worth it! Who the hell would want an automatic FC!? It's not that expensive to do either, just the tranny, hydraulic lines, master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch, flywheel, counterweight I think needs to be removed on the automatic. PM hypntyz7, he'll hook you up with all you need and instructions.

you don't need to change the front counterweight, just use either a S5 flywheel or bolt a lightweight flywheel to the automatic's counterweight. might as well, you already have it
