Great :D but they said it wasn't even the clutch :scratch:

Just ordered these drive shaft seals and bearing. (Because it was recommended in the guide)
I don't know what I'm looking at when it comes to the seals, are they an easy replace?

Also put the space savers on and cracked one of the hub nuts off easy as.. The drivers side however, completely broke my ratchet and nearly arm and back :lol: anyway completely fucked it! Now what?

Shouldn't really use a ratchet for that job, should get a breaker bar.

Your very ambitious to do a manual conversion when you dont even know what a breaker bar is.

      Splitting the box would be best but its not that easy if your name isn't bennoz. Before it died on the highway how did it shift?

      There you go, that sounds like a bargain to me. Go for that one. Wouldn't kind keeping mine (if I still have it) as a spare given I now have 2 manuals.

        Well it never died haha
        And it was smooth as f**k! Had no issues apart from a bad idle.. Only ever drove it for a few hours though.
