well, I think your car looks nice. you made an effort to change the looks and it looks great. even though you didn't go the type s route, your car is stll unique. no one else has done a 6 speed on a tl-p motor.
but if you do want some extra ponies you could always get a type s intake manifold and throttle body. as a matter of fact im selling some.
anyway, I hope you get everything figured out and I still love my car. I don't race often, but when I do I win. gotta love manual trannies.

Joe's working on all the wiring for us right now. He's keeping me updated on everything. I need to take some pics of the wiring but I never get a chance to when it's light out. It may be Sunday before I can do it. There probably won't be a DIY for the actual swap, but for everything after and getting everything working right with your stock ECU and wiring.

Joe's working on fixing it. Go on the V 6 P forums and search "Good news for the 6MT's".
We have to make the CL-S speed sensors work with my wiring harness and ECU and have to make it (the ECU) think the shift solenoids are still there.

KRIS! I need you to do this for joe. He needs your gear position switch so he can make you a harness for your TL-P.... Unplug it and then go to his thread in the AV6 forums and he's gonna list a set of instructions for you there.

You can but it's not a good idea. The rear bracket for the mount bolts to the trans and motor. When you put the manual trans on, the bracket only has the places to bolt on the motor b/c the trans has different ones. The rear 6 speed bracket bolts right up to the trans and the motor so you have it fully secured.

NO, you CANNOT. trust me, you DO NOT want to strip the threads on the engine block. The problem with the AT rear mount is that for one thing, is that the bracket only has 2 bolts going to the engine block where as the other two supporting it goes to the AT which will be gone. Unlike the AT rear mount, the MT mount is completely different. as well as all 4 bolts going through the bracket will be connected to the block for a secure connection in the MT bracket unlike the auto.
trust me, skipping out on the MT bracket and rear mount will be the biggest mistake you'll make. lol

Well, I'm pretty sure I just snapped one of my shifter cables 
It's been kind of hard to get it into gear when I just start it up so I was trying to force it into reverse because I was running late and heard a snap and the shifter just gave way. I'll make a vid, but basically the right cable broke and it can't pull the shift linkage to make it go into any of the lower gears (2,4,6,R).

that sucks. Was it binding up somewhere or pinched? Where did it break?

I'm not sure like I said I couldn't see it broken anywhere because it is inside the metal parts of the cable so I can't see exactly where. I'm about to start ripping stuff apart and see what I can see. Looks like I have the day off since I can't get to work.

Here's the video I took right before I pulled the cable completely out and took the picture -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8i5aIn4YcU

I would check to see if the cables are pinched or stressed (depending on how you ran them past teh frame) i went over make sure that no place inbetween is kinked. Something had to cause the cable to break??

yeah that is odd. I would deff look for a kink or binding in the linkage. If you are having trouble getting into a gear cold from a stand still, it has always been common practice for manual drivers to; say if reverse is hard to get into then go to first and then second, then try reverse again and it should pop right in. Sometimes the trans just needs to line up.

DEFINITLY SWITCH TO THE GM SYNCORMESH!!!!!!! It is the only way to fly! No one on this board who has made the switch has had a problem. I was simply amazed at what it did for my shift quality.
Also, DO NOT EVER force your car into gear!!! If it wont go into gear something isnt lined up right and you will break something. You are very lucky it was just the cable that broke. You could easily bend a part in the trany.

Here's a look inside the cable housing
It's to small to get anything in there and grab the cable with, so I cut off the metal around it to expose the cable itself.
Then, I started thinking, how can I make this work for the time being (until my new cables get here).
Vice grips holding the frayed wires to the other end of the original cable
Works like a charm so far
