the guy is giving me the gearbox, pedals, shifter/surrounds, harness, master cylinder for $700. im not sure what else is required. so if anyone knows that would be great. will the conversion be a straight swap? ie will there be too much work too do, apart from having to drop the engine and fit the pedals.
thoughts:
- need slave cylinder
- need clutch lines, has metal + hose sections (could get a new one made up i suppose)
- you wont need the harness
- need a flywheel
- need a clutch
- are the gearbox mounts the same? (FAST database could answer they quickly)
- maybe appropriate gearbox bolts if the auto ones are different
- on the manual box, grab the input shaft and wiggle - it should have absolutely zero play/movement. turn by hand, it should not be overly hard to turn (either in or out of gear) and should be quiet (they'll most likely be a slight audible noise).
- undo the filler and drain plugs on the gearbox and transfer case before doing the conversion, to ensure they actually undo
- consider buying a brand new clutch fork, and make sure you're getting a good quality throw out bearing
- replace all the coolant hoses on the back of the engine while its out (u can buy a kit from gmc on pulsar forums i think -

shouldn't be too hard, i suppose you'll have a bunch of auto rubbish sitting on the garage floor afterwards. that's all i can think of at the moment.
