Thread: Converting Auto to Manual

Can't help with your particular modification, but once upon a time I did some modifications to a 1972 Toyota Twin Cab Dyna with ute body... like installed a landcruiser diff centre and diff lock then a Holden 253 V8 (gave me better fuel economy than the original 2ltr motor) then a 5 speed gearbox then decided to convert it to a 4x4 so used a landcruiser front diff and gearbox and transfer case. I fitted Hilux disc brakes to the front diff. I change it from a coloum gear shift to a floor gear shift with the linkage running up over the top of the motor. It was absolutly fantastic vehicle.

So I guess you can do your little modification.

I have not worked on one of these

but along with mounting brackets a tail shaft (as it maybe different length) possibly bell housing if this will adapt to the block then your in luck often there is need for a floor modifications also depending on the vehicle. Then just hope the diff takes the strain.

It can be done but by the time you buy all the bits it could end up pretty ecky.

Try to find a full van that you can take the lot out of or get a complete motor gearbox from a wreckers to get all the parts you need in one hit.

Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress.

Cheers

Mate, get on to a Mitsubishi Forum or two, and see if anyone can help you out.

It's a flamin' Missingbitsy fer cryinoutloud! It's worth about as much as a used roll of dunny paper... don't bother fixin'; the thing, go buy a proper car mate.
