why axles? move mount, change tranny, asdd linkage, pedal, swap ecu or convert to manual. you dont need to chip it. add wiring so your reverse light comes on when in reverse. hmm this is all i can think of but i can't fiigure out why you need axles lol

the auto might have different autputs...idk? I'll have to check out the P# sometime.

BTW highroller:
90=ED=cable trans

I'm afraid changing my pedal assembly may be alot harder for me.

If you think changing the pedal assy will be hard then maybe the rest of the job you should leave to someone else. Just take it section by section. Its not that hard. Just work slowly and double check your work. You will be fine.

I've only pulled one pedal assembly, and i had the dash out. IDK if i can do it with the dash in. Anyone know? That's what I'm worried about, not the technical complexity, but how long will it take me.

I could rip your pedal assembly out blindfolded in about 5 minutes. Time me. :P
