how hard would it be to change my c3 auto to a stick shift? how would i mount the clutch pedal? would i need a new driveshaft? any input would help
It should be a bolt in swap. The clutch pedals will bolt right into the existing frame as well. sorry, I cannot comment on the driveshafts.
i have a 79 pinto i'm parting out on ebay. if you need a pedal assy and all the rest of the pieces all the way back to the drive shaft i can help you out. i haven't listed any of the pieces you will need. these pieces are from a 1979 model pinto.
For the driveshaft:

The brake pedals are different between power and non-power brake cars.
The firewall will have the hole for the cable, it has a rubber plug in it.
The d9 bell will let you install a t-5 too.
Hey 78: does that car have power brakes? I am looking for a m/t brake pedal for a power brake car.
