What tranny are you runnin now? It's a lot less for one with the automatic, and you obviously can make a bellhousing to fit whatever you want, so the real downside would be getting a flywheel. I can pass along the contact info for the guy near you, maybe he actually has it in stock. For the price it's worth a try, if it fits in your budget. Otherwise I could put you directly in touch with mike hooper from jarco, maybe you can do some sweet talking or figure out a different path to take.
