Twacks joining the cool kids and going manual. (lots of pics)

Well the time came and the auto was done. I got a steal of a deal on all of the manual swap parts in awesome condition. I wanted to build up the auto but as some of you may know i got laid off last week so theres no way in the world i could put money in the auto.
Since I now have a lot of spare time and a junk auto i figured it was time to take the plunge and do the swap.

No more giant shifter

One of my shifter cables had a broken cable so i tried using Poofys old 2g cable. 2g cables have more movement so it worked great in my car. But because of the extra movement i dont think a 1g cable would work in a 2g.

You can see that the metal piece on the 2g does not get in the way at all
