Hi.
This is my first post and was wondering if anyone could help me. I race Meastro's on a 1/4 mile oval track, and after the sad demise of my MG2.0, I would like to replace it with a 1.6. The only 1.6 I have found is an automatic, and was wondering what I would need to convert it to manual. I've think I've got most of what i need ( taken out of my mates 1.6 racecar that we're re-shelling after he crashed into me ), but just need to make sure.
Thanks.

Off of the top of my head, you'll need gear linkages, a few carb and electrical modifications, pedalbox, clutch cable, starter motor, maybe driveshafts? Probably gearbox/engine mounts too.

Does anyone know if the driveshafts are different between auto and manual ???

Thanx
