I'm not sure that converting a transmission to a person is possible. You might want to look into a manual transmission though I heard they work. Lol

I'm about to do it to mine... Only hard part is you have to drill out the fire wall

Manuel lol!! Manual transmission. I think the computer has to be changed and the wiring harness might not match up, Mainly my question is the wiring harness. I might make mine a crawler someday and I would like a manual transmission for that.

ho motor won't work in a renix. well, the block will, but you'd have to use your intake and head along with some other odds and ends.
did that with mine. no benefit from the H.O. at all. so don't get your hopes up. besides, it was a pain in the **** to make it all work. harnesses and everything are different.

good luck.
