I have found a B210 with a manual transmission, what do I need to pilfer from this car to do the conversion?

A complete list would be great.

I'm doing the exact same thing on my march 1977 120Y (aussie B210)
I jave already installed the pedalbox in my 120Y

you will need:

the gearbox/tranny, (of course )
the flywheel,
the clutch plate,
the pressure plate,
the driveshaft/tailshaft,
the spiggot bush out of the end of the crank,
all associated fastners/bolts,
and maybe the yoke of the diff

I haven't done the gearbox conversion, (I have a wandering driveshaft/tail shaft - it grew legs) but the pedalbox was VERY easy, two bolts holding the steering column up, another two holding the pedalbox to the bulkhead (those two are a bitch to get back in ) four bolts holding the pedalbox to the firewall and another two in the engine bay (they hold the master cylinder if the car has a hydrolic clutch) - you will also have to remove the clevis pin attached to the brake booster

I don't know about US B210's but Aussie B210s (120Y's) have a cable clutch

(UPDATE)


the auto to manual conversion has been completed I just need to top up the oil in the gearbox.

the conversion is definitely worth doing!

there are two sizes of crank hubs though and the gearbox x member MAY need to be made/modified

for what was a gutless auto is now a quite powerful (almost TOO powerful) infact I'm seriously considering some 13" rims on the back!

ok Im really "gearing" up to swap now. Pun intended.
What tranny did you put in, I am putting a 60 series 4 speed in and have no tranny mount or x member. I do have the one off the auto box with the shifter thingy on it, can I use modify this one or should I fabricate one from scratch?

Any other last minute tips would be great.

You might be able to cut the linkage pieces off the auto X-member but really you want the 4spd mount alot easier I just did this conversion about 2 months ago and make sure to pop off the cap on the end of the crank shaft where the pilot bushing goes.

well I just installed the pedal box and am wondering what the best way to access the double bolt plate that drops through the body above the pedal box. It flipped upside down when I pulled the auto brake assembly out. Without that bolt(s) the steering wheel moves when I brake.
Do I need to remove the dash or maybe the air vent cowl on the outside?

Help...
