Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 9:00 pm Post subject: Auto to 5 or 6 speed
I always wanted a manual so now I'm going to do it!! What I have is a 1985 El Camino (remove the v6 and 200r) Now I need your help in the trans dept. I have the linkage, bell housing from a 78 El. Can I use a hydro clutch? six speed: hmm will it fit ? what about the hole in the floor? I know I need it but how do I determine where?
Nate pretty well covered it for you. Lots of reading and good info
As far as locating the hole for the shifter: When you get the tranny in place go underneath with a long punch and hammer. At each corner of the shifter box knock a small dimple upwards.
Go inside and find the dimples and just cut between them. Allow about a half inch for movement on the mounts. _________________ 84 Elky with 455 Buick, Tremec TKO600 5 speed, 8.5 3:42 posi -
