DUDE! Same thing happened to me tonight! Lost 3rd gear. Won't go past 2nd and in OD it just revs.

We're so lucky. How much does 5 spd conversion cost?

1200 seems way too low. I would love a 5 spd though.

Did your car act as if it was in neutral when you had the OD on? Mine did. It was weird.

It wouldn't be too hard if you had a lift I don't think. I think I would have to get it installed unless my dad knows how.

It's not a hard conversion if you have a lift but its definately time consuming which would mean that labor probably wouldnt be cheap. You are probably best off just doing it yourself but then again it cant hurt to call around for prices of labor.
