What if you did like a front clip? I'm looking at a 85 two actually that are autos in amazing shape. And was gonna do like a 13b turbo front clip with a manual how much work would be involved than? Like is there anything that wouldn't work?

I believe you need a different rear housing, another motor is need. So 1800 dollars for a jdm motor that may be in good shape, which comes with a transmission. so now you need a slave cylinder with separate slave cylinder oil tank. Then a brake pedal. I believe the shiftier will fit no problem. I bet with a JDM motor you can do it for around 3k.

I did a S5 Trans to an FD auto rear iron.,
I made a L shaped Bracket to the 2 bolts that held the Auto Starter on and then created a hole for a bolt so the Bolt hole on the trans would have something to hold to.
To do the swap "correctly" Yes,a Manual rear iron should be sued BUT you can get away with an FD Auto rear iron to hook up to the FD Manual trans.
