    How hard is it to convert a 71 Comet auto trans to a manual transmission?? I heard once that the pedal set bolts right up. Does anyone have a pedal set to sell?? Thanks....

    There's Usually A Pedal Set On Ebay. Not Too Hard To Do, Just Hooking Up The Clutch Seems To Be The Hardest Thing To Do.... That Ive Heard Of.
