Manual Transmission swap
Hello all, I'm new to the forums and I hope I could get some help.
I've had my 78 Monte for almost 10 years now and I'm really interested in changing out the auto trans for a manual but I'm having a hard time finding the parts/info I need to get me going in the right direction.
If there is anyone that knows where I could find most of the stuff I would need to do the swap I would be very thankfull.

this will get you all the pedals and linkage, kind of pricey, but complete.http://www.accountwizard.com/clients...em&itemid=2852
Really depends on which trans you want to run, 4,5 or 6 speed?

78-88 Monte Carlo stick shift pedal & linkage kit
Your Price: $319.95
Well the 4 speed isn't to bad, Hardest part is finding the bellhousing and clutch fork. If you want to do a T5 with the mechanical linkage, you'll need the bell and fork from a 83-84 camaro/firebird. Or you can go with a hydraulic setup.
