yes, i requires a bit more rewiring than that tho, you also need to put a resistor in the loom for the thermo fans otherwise they will run all the time, there's a few people on here that have done the conversion, they can tell you exactly what needs to be done

a hi stall on an auto is heaps more fun than a manual apparently. I really regret swapping mine over now..

I would like to get a manual but I heard they don't handle the power all to well. I know mal wood does the conversion but the strong boxes cost you more then the car is worth. Unfortunately I need to stick to the auto :( high stall should help it a bit though

Duffman if you're planning on turboing it, you'll probably need to beef up the auto anyhow if you want it to handle real power. I know caspers needed to be beefed up to run 14.77.

Looks like someone can't drive a manual...........Mr Hardware!!!
Besides your comment is irrelevent to this topic. Only reason I have 2 Auto's is the company requires it and the Wife can't drive one. I'm so desparate that I use the sports mode transmission in my company Fairmont all the time. If I ever get a novated car it's manual all the way.

That's not nice Glen! lol! My memories of a manual remind me of terrible clutch shudder, broken pedal box welds, broken clutch cables and noisy thrust bearings! Give me an auto with high stall anyday! But I still have a little fun with my manual Toyota Hiace!
