i need to know too... im goin to be swappin in about 4 weeks, so i would really like to know... i am guessin 2 days if you have a parts car to take the stuff from... not just a bunch of parts from a junkyard and less if you have a lift and air tools

well, we did my rineds clutch, and by the time that took, i'd say it'd take maybe an extra hour or two to bolt on the pedals and shift linkage, and ditch the auto shifter. maybe a little more. and it took us prolly a total of 17-20 hours to drop the tranny, do the clutch, and put it all back together.

If you worked on it for 2 days (like spending most of the day doing it), it should be enough time. The tough part is the pedals/brackets and the fine tuning of the clutch cable and stuff. Just make sure you have the flywheel already resurfaced and the parts all lined up to minimize downtime and unexpected trips to the junkyard.
