[DML] Re: Auto to Manual!!!

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thomas - Not to rain on your parade, but there are some differences 
between the car structures for the automatics and the manuals.  These 
differences include some bracketry, and some penetrations that exist 
in one, but not the other.  For instance, I am not sure if the 
penetrations and attachment holes for the clutch master cylinder 
exist on the cars originally built as automatics.  There are also 
some significant differences in the wiring, and even the cooling 
system.  In short, it's a much bigger ($$$$$$) job than merely 
swapping some "bits" over.  This is not to say that it cannot be 
done - however, "you must be prepared to go the distance" is all that 
I'm saying.

cost too much from www.delorean.com, so I was wondering if anyone was 
thinking of swapping their manual to an auto, and we could swap parts.
