You're gonna need everything from a manual car. Your best bet would be to find a crashed or trashed Camaro with a manual trans. That will also help you to figure where everything goes as you take from one and put it on the other.

I get that manual may be a little more fun, but in a stock car, I'm not sure the cost is worth it. You will need a good bit of money and a lot of patience. Partswise you'll need:

1. Transmission
2. Correct flywheel
3. Clutch and all associated linkages, pedals, slave, etc.
4. Crossmember
5. Driveshaft of correct length
6. Some way of connecting the speedo cable.

I'm sure there are a few who have done it and can add to the list.

I got the tranny and can get the other parts. I have a 400 small block in it so i think it would be more fun

Wish my Camaro was a stick and not auto. If you have the time and money go for it.

I think I am going to go for it. The reward after would be worth it I believe.
