Auto To Manual???

[84vetteboy]

I have an 84 with the 700r4 and would like thew fun of driving a stick Corvette I got an estimate from a local Vette shop that was compleetly outragous for using a Used part.

Have any of you done this???

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Its been done...but expencive... you are better off selling your Corvette and buying a manual.

The problem with that is I love her and I think that I could be done for a lot less than this guy wanted. I have to check out E-Bay and see if anyone is selling there 4+3 to start off with.

he wanted 8000.00 to do the swap with a used 4+3 ridiculas if you ask me!

You are also forgetting...you will need the bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, slave cylinder, master cylinder, clutch fork, pedel, assorted harnesses, new ECM, new driveshaft...and if I am not mistaken...maybe a new centerbeam and rearend. I'm not positive about teh last two.

It would be cheaper to go buy another Vette off Ebay with the 4+3 than spend 8k.

The Good, wait, Great News of that is now you would have TWO Corvettes......

<--------workin on number 2 now.......lol
