    Clem yeah I was thinking of going that route though they seem to be a rather spendy option.

    Anything is repairable. 10 years ago this was dirt & iron ore under the earth, someone made it into a slave cylinder. How hard is a repair?

    Yeah sadly I have never even seen a factory G Body manual car in my life let alone one I could strip parts from.

    The last setup I saw was a few years ago in a 3 speed ElCamino, the seller wanted $500 for just the pedals, linkage and bellhousing. OPG Repops the pedals but I don't know about the linkage and bellhousing, which is G body only. The Camaro setup is a bit more affordable if you can do a little work.

    Yeah I'm thinking I'm going to go the route of the Camaro setup. There are places that make the stock style G body linkages but it costs between $300 and $500. No one reproduces the bellhousing save for getting like a Lakewood.

    In reply to Wally:

    You're making me regret passing up the $800 3-speed Malibu.

    Vinyl bench seats and everything!
