EG auto to manual write up- with slightly smaller pics for the whiners:)
i just got done doing this yesterday so i thought id write it up so while its still fresh in my mind first get a clutch pedal and bracket, there is no need to remove either of the brake or gas pedals from the automatic, if you look in the driver side corner where the brake master cylinder is there will be a plate where the clutch master cylinder will go, unbolt that from behind with a 12 mm, unglug the blue box bolted where that plate comes off, if it has it, if it does, you wont need it, its for automatic, mount the clutch pedal to the holes for that plate, then the clutch master cylinder will just go through that hole and you could just use a nut and a bolt to fasten it to the brass bracket on the clutch pedal, then run the hyrdo clutch lines throughout the web of fuel lines, around where the battery is, around the passenger wheel well, and onto the slave cylinder, as for the shift linkage conversion, unbolt EVERYTHING for the automatic, there will be like three plugs to unplug, heres where it gets really tricky, unless you want to wire the sensors on the brake pedal to the relay showing the computer the clutch is pushed in to start the car, you have to leave one of the things plugged in, its a 4 inch by 1 inch peice of white plastic attached to the plug, keeping that plugged in and tucked under the center console will show the computer that the car is in park, then just run the shift linakge for the manual, but where the stabalizer bar mounts to the car, you will have to drill two holes to mount it up to the car, uhm.....other than that, THE HARDEST PART OF THE SWAP, is changing the body metal mount on the tranny side, automatic slants up, and manual is straight, you will have to weld in a new one if you want to run a tranny mount, what i am doing right now is running the motor mount, front two vibration mounts, and rear mount and its working fine, unless you want to make an adapter plate to work with one of the mounts, that would work too, thats it, and your running manual!!

unless you want to wire the clutch sensors, leave this hooked up

No, I know. The problem is you showed like 4 pics, and "it's done".
I haven't ever done this before, so if I was to go off of your instructions, I would be looking at the white plastic thing and going, "well, I don't want to rewire the clutch, so I'm gonna leave this" Is that it? Does it just hang there or what?
Maybe I'm just giving you a hard time, but I DO need this information and I think you could do better. lol.
