well it would be nice if mine had both. ill have to check it out. does it look the same as the mouting point for the auto? |
Soory, my memory was shot, MAnaula mount is forward of the Auto mount. Here is a pic of my car when I welded the manual mounts in.

a better shot I just found

yeah i figured it was in front. how much work is the swap all together?? i talked to rp and they said they stopped doing it bc its a lot of work and even more than the fd swap. which sounds like bs to me
|
Did it in a weekend. Hardest part was lifting the carpet up to keep it from igniting, and swapping out the pedal cluster.
Drop the steering column to install Highlights. Dont forget a T/O Bearing Use new mounts and clutch line. Make sure you get an NA driveshaft |
are the mounts for the auto and manual the same? i mean the crossmemeber part. and was your carpet igniting bc you were welding under it?
|
No the mounts are not the same. Yes, the sounddeading material under the carpet is very flammable. I lifted the edge of the carpet. slid in a 2x4 to raise the carpet off the floor. After a short weld. I blasted a shot of CO2 under the carpet to cool it off
|
hmm, if the manual mount point is there i wont need to do any welding will i?
|
|
yeah ive looked on there, but hes talking about make that mount adapter thing. i dont want to do that, i want it to be just like stock.
|
People have reported problems with ghetto-rigged mounts. I DONT RECOMMEND IT
|
yeah im not going that route. i want the finished product to be a completly factory tii vert, even rhd. thats a while down the road but i dont want to ghetto rig anything now that im just gonna have to fix later.
|
to banzai or who ever has done the swap: did your car have a block off on the hole where the clutch master cyl goes? i noticed yesterday that mine does. what i mean is that the hole and bolt holes are there but they have a plate bolted in/over them.
|
Yes, its a block off plate, unbolt it, and remove. Then drop the steering column and remove the Pedal Cluster and replace with a manual pedal cluster. Some people just add the clutch pedal to the auto cluster, but I find it easier to replace the whole thing
|
i was thinking there was drilling to be done for the pedal but after looking at the fsm i guess it just hangs there on the bolt. hmm it seems that if there are the holes under the car for the manual mount this swap would be a piece of cake. do the tii parts bolt up and mount in the same places as the na parts? will a tii rear and halfs swap right in?
