auto to manual
The engine subframes of the manual and auto MightyBoys are different so you'll need either a subframe including engine mounts out of a manual MightyBoy or Hatch, or the tools and skills to modify the existing subframe to suit. I suggest picking up a Suzuki Hatch wreck from somewhere and extracting everything you need from it.
In addition to the gearbox, your list include:
* Engine subframe including engine & gearbox mounts
* Shift linkage assembly including plastic knuckle
* Clutch pedal including pivoting rod and clutch cable
* Custom loom adaptor for reverse light and ignition cut
(we can provide you with the wiring diagram for this or I can manufacture one for you and pop it in the post when required)
I have a funny feeling that we may have had to replace the speedo cable as well... Was that the case Brayden? I can't recall...
Anyway, once you have the following necessary components, the rest is simply playing mix and match with the stock auto components and the manual ones. You'll need to remove the engine, gearbox and subframe completely, which will involve disconnecting all associated components such as the sway bar and disconnecting the lower control arms. Bolt in your new subframe, insert engine & gearbox, attach all other accessories and you should be off and running again!
Hang on to that cowl that surrounds the T-bar. With the addition of a custom gear boot you can make it into a pretty tidy centre console to cover the gaping hole you'll have left in the carpet when you remove the T-bar.
I'll take and post up some pics of mine in the morning.
