Manual conversion

Post by EFMONT96 »

Hey a I'm sure there is a thread on the forum about this but I just bought a full conversion for my ef fairmont, the question I have is do I need a new centre console to run the manual box or can I just take the auto insert out.

Cheers.

It depends on if you are changing the pedal box, other wise you shouldn't need to.
