It is finally time to change my slipping 200m to a 200r4 that I got a good deal on. What complications can I expect. I know the column shifter will not line up for reverse or neutral, but I am thinking of going to bucket seats and floor shift anyways...but will there be any problems with...

Hey guys...long time no post, sorry I have been away for a while, and this question might have been posted before, if so, let me know, and I apologize. My question is, has anyone made some way to have a manual trans (let's say a T56) with sequential shifting?? can that be done? still have...

I was wondering if anyone else had hear about the rear frame (above the rear wheels, and back) rotting (as my mechanic is telling me 4th gen Monte's are famous for it). I live in Niagara region, ON, Canada, and car was off the road about 1 yr, I am now current (and proud) owner of a 1986 Monte...
