Started the manual swap yesterday, here's where it sits as of now. one torque converter bolt is totally stripped so i have to get a drill to get it out. And still need to get the flywheel resurfaced. But, otherwise we got a good start.

Keep up the great work! You should have filled up your passenger and had her help with the swap. I love how these are becoming so common! This means that more of these manual turbo 850s will be for sale in 5-10 years. :oogle:
