auto. to manual 75 tranny swap?

["Jay Ogorzalek" <jogorzalek@domain.elided>]

Hi, folks...

I looked on GTV6.org for some info on the possibility of swapping out an 
automatic transaxle for a manual in a Milano but only found a question 
asking the oppopsite by one owner looking to install an auto. in a manual 
car.

I'm looking into the possibility of taking the automatic tranny out of an 
'88 Milano Platinum and replacing it with the manual tranny out of my '87 
Milano Silver. THe reason I'm contemplating this is that my Silver is 
basically a junk car- too rusty, etc.. but has many good parts (including a 
recently rebuilt tranny from a few years ago). The Platinum has a good body, 
solid motor and a few more do-dads than the Silver yet has that darn 
automatic.

GTV6.org suggested that the aforementioned owner just outright look for an 
auto. Milano b/c they are relatively cheaper than manuals and it'd be less 
of a hassle. However, I'm looking to do the opposite and remove a supposedly 
(?) more complex auto. setup for the more fun stickshift into an otherwise 
good, solid complete car.

Has anyone already done this? Again, I'm just trying to piece 2 cars into 
one good one. Any advice or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay Ogorzalek
