On an EG you will have to cut out the side tranny mount and weld in a manual tranny one.

 

but do i have to move it any? or weld it back in the same place as the auto mount

thanks

 

Hey Man,

I just recently did this and during my research I heard people say that you had to move it. I don't know what kind of measuring device they were using, but I did not have to move my mount bracket. I took the AT bracket off, and welded in the MT bracket. I even went to a junkyard to make really sure that I was right, and the distance from the edge of the battery tray to the centerline of the brackets was the same for both AT and MT, 12.5 inches.


Hope this helps
