is your clutch mechanical rod, or hydrolic?

either way you'll need them, you'll need to change steering colums, change pedal assembly to 3 pedals remove floor matting open the hole for a standard tranny get a raised floor housing for the hole in the floor, and you may also have to change trans cases, and axels

it is not that hard of a job if you've got all parts at hand, but it is fairly time consuming

thanks for the reply but sounds like a lot of work may just try to find him a replacement c6
