I want to convert my 71 ghia 1600DP with autostick to "normal" 4 speed. I have some of the 'major' items already, but need some others, but not sure which exactly. I've already read the excellent conversion site at
formatting link
butthere's no complete 'checklist of all parts needed' there items I already HAVE: the 4 spd itself 'loose' the throwout bearing and its 2 'clips' the 'normal' oil pump == == == == == == == items I know I still NEED:*the clutch disc and pressure plate
*pressure plate BOLTS
*the flywheel and four dowel pins,
*plus the thin flywheel endplay 'shims'
*plus the flywheel GLAND NUT
*pedal assembly (same year)
*pedal cover (steel sheetmetal) plate with THREE slots in it...
*the lower 'studs' that fasten engine to trans
*the upper 2 (shorter) bolts and nuts that bolt engine to trans
*clutch bowden tube
*clutch cable itself with the 'cone shaped nut' for adjusting it (or is it 'wing nut' shaped that year?)
*regular 4 speed 'shifter' along with 'shift gate' that mounts under it (same yr) or can I reuse the same auto-stick shifter?
*shift tube BUSHING (white nylon?)
*shift 'tube' or 'shift rod' (goes from shifter bottom to trans front) OR just "drill out" the "hockey stick end" of the old one?
*need different rubber 'mounts' for the 4 speed? or do I?
*the two CV-jointed 'shafts' (from the trans sides to the rear wheel stub axles) are the SAME in the autostick car as the 4 spd car uses, correct? or?
*rear engine 'tin' (big crosspiece by crankshaft pulley) withOUT holes in it for ATF lines etc
*SHORTER oil pump mounting studs
*I -can- use the -same- crankshaft, correct?
*I -can- reuse the same starter, correct?
*what _other_ items ??? == == == == == == == most important question: which parts am I still gonna need that I've forgotten in the list above? which other '4 speed specific' bolts, fasteners, or -other- "more substantial" parts do I need that I've overlooked? == == == == == == == on a side note: if anyone has a "SCAT type" (or simialar) spin-on oil filter adapter/bigger oil pump Unit-Thing-Adapter-Device (UTAD, a new "technical term") sitting around they wanna sell, pls contact me by direct e-mail/thanks :-) == == == == == == == on an even 'further out' aside: is there any way to obtain a FIVE speed trans for the ghia that isn't "way pricey" for the transmission unit itself? like I'd think a used porsche 912 gearbox price range might be 'too rich' for me right now - goal is to have freeway cruise speed sustainable with 'other normal traffic' (aka the normal 75 mph or so). like is there a way to change SOME of the gears inside the 4 spd transaxle to make them 'taller', perhaps, as a tightwad guys way to achieve that goal? like maybe just the third and 4th gear gearsets?
thanks for illuminating me :-)
