Default 5 speed conversion!

I am in the works of buying all the gear, BUT...

I'm tossing up wether or not its worthwhile for me to buy in NSW, take up with me to qld and install there, or just buy and install up there.

Ive been quoted $1500 for the full kit and caboodle. Flywheel, Gearbox, Boot, cables, used clutch (will **** this of fand replace with a daikin HD). Everything down to the gearknob.

Anyone know of anything similar in price in QLD (Bris/Gold Coast)?

Anyone who has done this before, how hard is it? (Ive done several a-m conversions, but all on 4 potter RWD's with lots of room.

Anything i should be wary of with the gearbox? Obviously new oil goes in, new clutch, and machined flywheel.

Does the tailshaft need replacing?

Needless to say, im damned excited! Ive actually driven a vct manual, and DAMN... craps ALLLLLLLL over the auto!

You need to take in to consideration:
- ECU
- Reversing Tail Lights

The tailshaft also does need replacing. Also pedal box, or just get a Mal Wood Pin Kit.

Cheers
