I may be able to get an AE71 cheap. However its an auto 3 speed
*shudder*
How hard is it for me to wack in my 5 speed? Bolt up? What about interior? Need any changes?
Thanks

I don't know ANYTHING about your model and pissed as i write this, but i changed my AE102R to manual. I was the biggest shitfight in the world. Albeit is a front wheel drive...
Generally it should just bolt up. Might have to make a few wiring changes. Doubt it for your model. Basically just the Flex plate changed to a flywheel and bolt the bugger in...

an AE71 is basically a KE70.
if the gearbox you get is cable clutch, use the pedal box from a KE70, maybe cut a hole in the floor for the shifter (not sure if they line up) and should be good.
if the box is hydraulic, you get either an AE70 pedal box with clutch master, or you might be able to use the AE86 pedal box as they are pretty similar to an AE70 (similar floorpan etc)
shifter position will depend on the box you get, and an angle grinder will fix it pretty quick 
possibly a crossmember change but not certain..
nothing an angle grinder and welder can't fix!

ahh thanks..
Well I have an AE71 already.. and the T50 Gbox..
I believe my clutch is hydrolic.. so that also makes my Gbox the same?
thanks mate.. Well I will have 2 of the same car.. so I would say that it should be a pretty easy change over.

PS: I havnt heard back from the car dude.. but this is still good information to have..
