    Manual swapping

    I've found someone willing to part out their 88 LX-i to me so I'm just trying to get a parts list together of what I will need. Here's what I know so far:
    The tranny obviously
    Gauge cluster
    Pedal assembly
    Master and slave cylinders
    Shifter linkage and stuff

    Please let me know if I will need anything else, I am already going to OBD1 if that changes anything. Thanks in advance

    Gauge cluster is optional... I like people getting confused when they see auto shift panel on my cluster and a manual stick

    Aint no master/slave cylinders. You just need a pedal and a piece of twine... or a clutch cable from rockauto

    Yea, but that's that manual feel man, you feel the actual tension of the clutch and all that... or so I'm told, but tbh I like cable clutches, less shit to go wrong lol

    The short axle/CV shaft is the same for auto and manual but the longer one is a specific length for each.

    Do you know the tranny is good or are you going to inspect it or at least take a look under the 5th gear cover?


    I don't have issues with my clutch cable, in fact i hardly noticed a difference between it and my other car which was hydraulic.
