Chris, It's not a bad swap. You'll need pedals and the bracket from a Daytona or Laser, the transmission of your choice either a 520, 555, 523, 568 or maybe a hybrid transmission, shifter and cables to go with your setup, K frame with the bobble strut bracket on it, stick transmission mount, clutch cable and brackets from the strut tower and a set of later, large spline axles and finally the flywheel & clutch package. As for the console, they are the same and the small bezel with the stick boot is different. I have an '86 Daytona that I will be parting out soon and it's a stick car so I can supply you with everything you need including a rebuilt transmission of your choice and everything needed to make the swap into your car. Drop me an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if your interested and want more details. Where are you located?

The 3 speed auto kills my performance. I know Cindy and others sell a good 3 speed for around $1,500 (which I'm not afraid to pay). On the otherhand, my only hesitation to swapping out the tranny for a manual is the condition of the vehicle..... as the console and everything else is in excellent condition. Are the automatic consoles in these cars the same as a manual console? Can a shifter boot be installed where the gear selection indicator is located or do I have to swap out the whole console? I don't know if I'll ever find a manual console with the same features in this kind of condition (not worth it to me if this is how it is). I'm picky like that : ) Any opinions on the above is appreciated...manual vs. automatic...and/or console tips. Driving the car would definitely be more enjoyable with a manual, and it would be nice not to hear my engine screaming at 3300-3500 rpm at around 70mph.
