Mondello sells a bushing that goes into the back of the auto trans cranks for the stick conversion. The only thing required is to measure to see if the tip of the input shaft will hit the center of the crank. If it does you need to drill the crank deeper or grind a little off the trans (not recommended)

--------------

I called mondello and asked them about this topic and they said many times the shaft on the transmission side does not even need to be shaved but they suggest shaving the trans side. What would be a reason that I would not want to shave the input shaft of the manual trans?

I thought I was going to have to give up my swap plans unless I found a complete motor with correct crank and pull everything out of the car and replace. This 69 bushing from modello sure looks like a great solution.

thanks for any comments or opinions!
