u wil need, pedal box, gearbox, clutch, wiring harness, computer, flywheel, clutch cable, and tail shaft.
The hardest bit is swappin over the harness i reckon, its annoying.
drop the box, mount clutch and flywheel. replace harness. replace pedal box, run clutch cable, mount box. MAKE SURE u use a yoke for centering the clutch plate or you can use the box with much diffilculty, lol
mount tailshaft, and remove all auto lines. |

| Pedal box is the hardest part i reckon so do that first and the rest will seem simpler |
Just be thankful you got two legs to stand on and hands to grab sh*t with! |

| it would be cheaper to roll back to an S1 engine but who in there right mind would want to do that LOL the S2 is so much more refined. finding the elusive 8 bolt flywheel is a mission there is another shop teds 4wd conversions or something theres a link on JC's he makes new flywheels that use your flexplate as the ring gear for the starter to enguage into and the flywheel bolts to it and the crank they look ok and quite a few people run them he does them for 4wd conversions etc much cheaper than the crs adaptor too |

| The best things with these cars are they are easy to work on !! So what your saying is,, you have a s2 motor in the car, and you brought a s1 man gearbox? is that correct? If it is then yes you need to change to 8bolt ,, different doing the auto, well same method ! aslong as you have all the above and the 8 blot u will hit no problems.. |
