Can you replace a '93 automatic tranny with a manual tranny (and clutch) just by chopping a hole in the floor, changing to a flywheel and replacing your computer?

you wont need to replace the computer for that year.
but dont forget clutch pedal assembly, brake pedal, and they hydraulic system for it... not sure, but you might need a different length driveshaft.
it all sounds easy, but it will require a little bit of work.

I have always wanted to convert something from an automatic to a manual. Here is my idea....
Keep the brake pedal and throttle pedal in the stock location. Fab up everything for the manual tranny and cut a hole for the shifter. Intead of putting a clutch pedal on the floor, Put a handle on the shifter with a potentiometer reading the amount of leverage on the clutch handle. Wire that up to a circuit board with a custom program (not really sure how to do it but my dad who is a engineer said he could design it). Circuit then runs into a adjustable solenoid to control how much movement you want.
Im not sure if anyone has ever though of this before, But I really want to do something like this. I had a 125CC shifter cart that had this type of shifter on it. I really liked it.

mopar318 are you talking about having a lever shifter on the stick shifter kinda like a shifter on a dirt bike? if that is what you are talking about that is a great idea and i have thought of that also. my friends 5.2 rc 97 stick is a blast to drive and i ask if i can drive it ever time he comes over. the stick the Dakota's use is one of the best shifting sticks that i have ever used.

Fed, search here: www.car-part.com. They link salvage yards all across the US and Canada. You could look for all the parts you need and figure an approximate cost.

I would be interested in keeping my '93 automatic if I knew where to get a good automatic tranny that would bolt up to a magnum motor. It seems the more potent the motor the worse an auto tranny is. Is there a good tranny or combo in rebuilds for the magnum?
