STICK CONVERSION KITS

[81cutlass]

The AR5 5 speed out of a colorado is a good option behind mild v8's these days. Stronger for sure than a t5 and pretty cheap ($200-$400). The adapter plate does have some cost to it, but its about $1000 for the adapter plate, clutch, trans, slave cylinder combo. About what a T5 would end up especially assuming most are beat to crap and these AR5's are easy to get.

And if you are a total tightwad (like me) a mid 80's S10 manual pedal will attach to the G body brake pedal assembly with limited work and a 3rd gen F body clutch master works well. The G body firewall and S10 pedal with 3rd gen master have a bit of angle misalignment but if you can do some basic fab work everything goes together pretty well and parts are available overnight from NAPA or whatever if you break something.

Although the manual linkage stuff is factory and works, there are so few left and most are going to be worn or require repair that I would go hydraulic clutch parts since everything is easy to order.

All the linkage stuff is repopped. The challenge is bellhousings. Especially if you are a BOP person

If you go with a hydraulic set up you need to make or buy a doubler for the firewall. I made my own cause I am cheap...
