mcsniff Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 We are in the process of converting my KE30 from auto to manual. I have searched extensively and have 99% of the parts but am stuck on the cross member. I have a '78 KE30 with the trimatic which has the different gearbox crossmember and mounting points. The manual crossmember I have doesn't match up with any holes on the car. I understand I have to make my own or weld the 2 crossmembers together. What is the best way to do this? Does anyone have any images or pointers to help me out. Thanks! Langdon Quote
