Auto to manuaul conversion

How hard would this be to do? (It’s for motor sport so I don't have to worry about carpets) I assume the relevant bits are pressed and blanked in the car? Is it just the gearbox, clutch and pedals needed? Is the loom different?

Thanks in advance.

You'll need a prop, the auto' ones are shorter & I think a diff., if you do a search theres plenty of threads on this subject.

I tried a search and got nothing.

Brewer how long did it take you? What bits did you need and how much did you get them for?

Cheers guys.

Im thinking it would make sense to put a shortshifter in too, whist its out. Is this an easyish job?

very easy it's just a matter of swapping the short shifter for the old one before fitting :D
