I just wanted everyone to know that you should never and I mean NEVER try and do an auto to manual swap in one weekend by yourself. I ran into so many problems I felt I was going to kill someone. My (so called) friend never showing up to help me finish Sunday didn't make me feal any better sense I had to miss work and school Monday to finish the damn thing. Its pretty bad when you can get 3 guys you never met from TJ Max to help you but not your best friend.
But I did get it done and once I get the passenger side motor mount welded in ill be able really test it out.

i assume it already has a place to mount the clutch pedal and a place in the firewall to run the cable? or is a 92 hydraulic?

maybe two hours if you had an engine lift and people to help!! we had to lift the tranny into the car from under it with a jack, then the damn thing wouldn't line up.
And thanks for the welcome josh :P

Should have took it to these guys they could have done it in two hours and it would have only cost $600.

That's 600 I don't have.
Yes, it was hydro unfortunately took forever to get that damn clutch line pulled out of the old car and into the new one without pinching the pipe.
The passenger side motor mount sites higher then the manual mount so I have to get the old mount off and weld the new mount on. If you see me around town im driving really slowly and shifting really easily.
All the other brackets and holes where already there I had to take out my amp wire because I had it threw the hole for the clutch cylinder.
It really wouldn't have taken so long to do but I kept running into problems like feeding the clutch line threw the maze of hoses brake lines and other shit, cutting the old axle off my hub because it was stuck on, fighting the shifter cables to fit up threw the same small space against the firewall I had the clutch lines.
Should have took it to these guys they could have done it in two hours and it would have only cost $600.
