Ok so I know that the answer to this question has been posted a billion times on here but I couldnt find it so Im just going to ask it on here since I seem to usually get fast replies. Im thinking of buying another second gen. an 87 GXL to be exact. It has an automatic transmission but the transmission went in it and if I buy it I want to convert it to a manual transmission. Im just wondering what do I have to do to make it work with no problems or is it even possible to do that? Someone please let me know so I can figure out if I want to buy this car or not. Sorry for the stupid question but Thanks for the response

 

Of course its possible.

You will need to source a Manual:
Pedal Assembly
Clutch Slave Clyinder
Flywheel
Clutch/PP
Trans
Driveshaft (i am pretty sure)

and you will have to custom fab a bracket to bolt in the trans because the auto trans bolts to a different location.

 

Here is a full write-up on exactly what you have to do and what you nee to do it.
