Looks like things are happening sooner than I expected. I just landed a deal on everything I need including the trasmission for 650$ all I need to get eventually is a stronger Clutch when I go apr stg3 I'm picking everything up next week hopefully so I'll have lots of pics.
my M/T pedals came in the mail today, decided to install them now cause i know it would have been a bitch and a half later, it took me a good 3 hours, most of the time was getting the AT brake pedal out, the master cyl had some bad *** loctite on it and it kept getting stiff from me pushing on the pedal to try and move it around, plus being upside down in a small space isnt all that easy to work with, but all in all i got them in, clutch has no master cyl yet, gonna wait till im ready to do everything before i put that in, it has the tension spring in so it atleast stays in place. heres a pic. so pretty much by me doing this, this officially starts the process, and keeps me from backing out.

Got a lot done today. Got home from work grabbed my tool bag wen out to my car and began on the inside. I started pulling out the center console, removed all the cables for the auto trans shifter, removed the locking cable on the key so the key can now be insereted and removed at any time just like any manual car. Removed the transmission computer, pulled the steering wheel off cause my clock spring is broken so I'm going to replace it, took out the kick pannel installed the clutch starter switch. And.... Thats about it.
So tomorrow I think I'm gonna start pulling the under side. Trans driveshaft rear diff. I also figured out that my rear diff has a 4.11 gearing and I need. 3.89 soooo looks like I need to change it.
So people anyone that needs any parts for an automatic pm me I'm gonna have a bunch.
Picsssss
everything out + my leg
where the tcu was hiding
all my interior pieces I removed in trunk. Lol big trunks rule
