But if you are then I would say go for it, especially if you can have the car out of commision for a few days. Like Yeu said just take everything that has to deal with the manual tranny car and know that you're going to have to put it in yours. _____________________________ You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. 95 EX Auto OBX 4-2-1 Header Type R Strut Bar SRI 174k miles (in reply to Zambo) Post #: 3
