ok so im going to be making my eg a manual in a bit and need to know if i can use my auto axles, everywhere i go they seem to be between 98-99% sure i can but dont want to tear it all apart and then not have the right axles, the biggest reason i want to reuse them is cause they are brand new! but yeah thanks alot

Did my Auto to Manny swap a few months back in my EG, hardest part I found was hangin the clutch pedal, lol, other than that, you shouldn't have any issues, although, when you remove the auto shifter, there's 2 holes, patch the one, and you'll have to hook up your reverse lights and rig the shit wires so it'll come out of park, I can take some pics of the wiring in mine if ya like., The wiring part is easy stuff, don't get nervous, lol

Defiantly the same. Ive done the swap, heard many stories, and there the same axels. As for the pedals, I didnt find it too hard, I just put in the clutch pedal though I think, I took the drivers seat out though so I could lay in there and get at everything, It only took me like 20 or 30 mins the first time.

you'll need the cover (flywheel service cover) i think it's called, from the manual tranny
