Aggggghhhhhhhh!

I'm seriously getting frustrated with this freakin manual swap.

It's the little crap that's holding me back. Like a friggin clutch pedal. I can get one for cheap, but there's no bolt for it, and you can't GET a bolt for it from the dealer. To pull a bolt, you'd have to go to a yard and the amount of effort involved would be worth pulling the whole assembly!

And the reverse switch pigtail because of some stupid mandate that requires you to have reverse lights.

And flywheel bolts because flexplate bolts don't freakin fit!

I seriously am thinking about just scrapping this car anymore.

Kind of takes the fun out of the project doesn't it?

[MuddyREX]

Dude, did you expect it to go smoothly? Theres always going to be problems.

This is why I refuse to by an automatic car and swap it.

[99SL2_Modder]

Found one for 15 bucks.

Still need a damn reverse switch pigtail.

Stupid laws about reverse lights...

I like automatics so I say it was a waste of time to begin with, lol.

says who... half of my cars didnt have reverse lights

[2point4DSM]

Yeah, do the conversion already and worry about the reverse lights later. Worse comes to worse you could always use mini alligator clips to pass inspection.

[teh DIRT]

yeah or make your own harness. its not hard.

I am having the same problem as you, except I am trying to make my car automatic.

I was trying to do the same thing years ago. I got 99% of the parts and then just ran out of motivation. Lately I've changed my point of view and decided to just buy an auto to start modding instead.
