Hmm, you'll definitely need to reweld the stock transmission bracket. Good luck finding one or at least one that is intact. You might have a big hole where the shifter goes through the floor.

Basically, find out how to do a K-swap, then reverse everything.

Could be a false-positive. I'm not getting any warnings about it even being potentially malicious.

The transmission bracket you can buy it from the dealer and rewled it on your self. As for the transmission tunnel if I ever had to do it I'd go to the junk yard and cut out the part you need. Sorry I couldn't help any more.

Did you look at the swap threads? There are pictures. There's a point where it has to be cut to accommodate the shifter.

The ones you need are the ones that were removed in the build threads.
"Remove the passenger side tranny bracket. You can do this by simply drilling out the spot welds and prying it off, or using an air chisel/hammer."
"Remove lower radiator mount brackets and A/C lower brackets"
Are you sure you're reading the swap info?

I provided you a link to K20a.org. The site for k-swaps. And post #5 gave a link to a build thread where I'm getting all this information. by the end of this I'll know how to do a K swap like the back of my hand.

I think you're blind. There are 2 brackets they removed with pictures in the link in post #5. They tell you what brackets are being removed. I even listed what brackets they removed. People in this thread have told you what brackets you need to get. What is the problem? I think I'm done here.
