Nelsi, look in the archives. It has been discussed. Sorry I've have nothing more for you.

Good Luck.

I've never done it, but I think the procedure would be extremely similar to that of a clutch/flywheel replacement . The only thing I can think of that would be different would be changing the shifter linkages, cables, and then swapping out the pedal box.

plus new starter, axles, mounts, clutch slave and tubing, modify the reverse switch
harness, re-do the transmission ecu software, etc.
