Sup gang,
Looking at buying that kit for the manual conversion, and was wondering where the shifter on the T5 would sit in the LS. That aside, if everyone could throw ideas at me about this conversion that's be swell, as most of the threads seem to relevant either to the Soarer or othe Toyota trucks & cars. So far i know:
- I'll need to install a handbrake; not a huge job, the main item being the lack of much room in the cabin, anyone done it? Will need the footbrake space for a clutch (also, footbrake = no slides)
- Will I need to get a custom tailshaft, or is the length of the T5 similar to the stock auto?
- Will the Dellow bellhousing take a stock starter motor?
Anyone who's put ANY manual trans into the LS is most certainly welcome to give any hints, pointers, or various other forms of advice also. I plan to be doing all the work myself at home in the garage, and once the project gets underway I'll definitely do a full writeup on the whole process.
Cheers,
Dicko.
