auto to manual swap-85 GP
I'm starting to toss around the idea of switching my 85 GP from an automatic, (currently running a noisey 200-4R) to either a four speed or preferably a 5 speed. What or where would be the best source for pedals and components as I'm thinking of a hydraulic clutch setup. Has anyone done this or know of anyone that has. Thanks in advance. Alan

last one I did was with Elky pedals and linkage. Think I used a Trans Am bellhousing.

I would think the best place to find pedals would be ebay.

Thanks guys, but also wondering what would be the best source for a hydraulic cylinder and slave cylinder. Not really worried about the mounting bracket for the Pontiac engine and bellhousing, I can make that. Also what would be the best throwout bearing to use in this setup?

RE the Hydro set up check out circle track suppliers. That's a popular body for the roundy round guys to use. Bastards have killed a lot of NICE bodies for that.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
