My question is will a 5-speed conversion diminish the value of the car with the required modifications to the tunnel or increase value? I know I could do gears and taller tires, etc but I really prefer manuals anyway. TIA




If your going to mod the car's floorpan/tunnel, don't waste the time with a 5 spd, T56 6 speed...
