It begins

The mustang's conversion from an auto trans to a manual begins


The only used parts were the manual pedal assembly and manual trans mission harness for the back up lights



Manual pedals were put in last year. Not a bad job if you take the drivers seat and steering wheel out. Auto shifter is out in the pic

I like these sort of project because you have a 'vision' of what you want, work out what's necessary, get all of the bits, then set about doing it, inevitably chop and change a bit as you go along and end up building something you now truly own. 
It's like the antithesis of bland consumerism.

There are probably quite a few people out there who didn't know you could modify your own car.

Jesus Christ, what a pain in the ass.  Good luck, you brave, brave soul.

I get someone to replace a burned out tail light.

No shit.  Unless it's a '67 fastback, easier to find another one.

Good luck 11b4v

That's nothing.  I pay someone to change the oil.

I just get a cab when I need a car

Do yo think that if I take my car in to get a light replaced I change my own oil? I've never even changed my own wipers.

[Grey Fox]

I change wipers, lights, tires, etc.

But I won't change oil, fuck that.

No kidding.  Looks like an 80s Mustang.  No idea why you'd swap out the tranny rather than just buying a new manual 80s Mustang.

Well, if it's a 5.0, they are pretty pricey to come by    The manual transmission job would probably be cheaper.

I don't even want to refuel my own car.  I once finished refueling, then noticed that I left the engine on the whole time
