I'm also curious about the potential problems with an OD trans in a car that was formerly and auto, as it the case with my car. Like, why didn't whomever converted from auto to manual put an overdrive tranny in in the first place? Especially since going from auto to manual is apparenlty a big PITA. One thing to note, there really isn't a lot of footroom on the gas pedal in a formerly auto car- tight squeeze against the bigger tunnel. I can't wear boots or big shoes when I drive mine!

Oh man, and the passenger seat reclines! I need to scare up the brackets to do that for my passenger seat too, but I think they're rare and $$$!
