What I did a few years ago was locate a 400 4-sp parts car, had to go to Houston to get it but was worth the money to have the whole car. I sold a set of pedals to a member here last year for $75 I believe so they are out there. I haven't decided if I'm going to stay auto or go manual but if I end up selling one of my last two cars I will have to decide then.
