    Easier to transfer the pedals, but possible either way.

        transfer the pedals. you don't even want to try and remove the pedal box.. they are the same anyway.

          I can't think of any part of this swap that isn't straight forward and you'd need pictures for. Just get started on it and it gets pretty obvious.

            This post is awesome, since I'm about to start compiling parts for a 5-speed swap. Is anyone else getting the boxes with a red X instead of the pictures. Do I have some setting wrong? I REALLY want to see these pictures.

                Thanks. I'm new to the forum and hadn't read through the entire thread yet. Obviously, MARVIN is AWOL.

                      <- Thats me.

                      We need to know the electrical side of things. Make sure the reverse light works, neutral lock out, anything else.

                          go by the harness chart for your car - don't use what's online, it's all wrong. I spent half a day diagnosing a short that turned out to be bad wiring instructions for the 5 speed swap. if you look at the wiring chart, it's pretty self explanatory.

                            Now where do I find this wiring chart? And what about the reverse lights?

                              There's a thread somewhere on this site where teagur (sp?) tells exactly what to do. It even has pictures and everything.
