izzo Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 ok You need the pedals from a manual car, master cylinder, hard lines & soft lines for it, slave cylinder. You need a flyhweel, and a matching clutch kit, and a manual trans. If the trans is not the same length as the auto, you will need to lengthen or shorten your driveline. There should be no cutting involve, you *may* have to punch out the hole for the master cylinder. Dont have a 210, cant tell you. Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 So I might have to punch out a hole for the mastr cyl.. And shorten the drive shaft what do yu mean n what about shiftlinkage or there is none? Im sorry for these questions as im used to fwd hondas. Also is there a engine harness n chassis harness with a ecu that I would have to changee?? And the pics are coming soon btw G) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 The '80 would be carburetor so no EFI involved. Sometimes the auto and standard transmissions are different lengths so your auto drive shaft may be too long or short. The best thing is to buy a scrap 210 with 4 or 5 speed in it and you will have everything you need for the swap including the drive shaft. Usually there is a hole for the clutch master cylinder in every car. Autos have a small cover plate. Just look to the left of the brake booster. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 B210 should work since they are basically the same car. 210 is the upgraded B210. Bigger engines, 4 link rear (I think it was 4?) ETC. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Other peddles may not fit, get the right ones. Nice 2 door. Quote Link to comment
