So this is a direct fit to the 8G with little or no mods?

yep~ all you have to do is add a 3pedal~ clutch~ change the tranny and drop in the stick~~ guys around where i live (jersey) is doing it for 450~ im just not sure whether or not the axles have to be changed~ i hope not~

[DJ Galant]

there is more into swapping to 5 speed than pedal and stick. First of all, you would need probably the ecu harness from 5 speed also.
There is a question like is there any mounting holes for the shift linkage?
I am assuming there is, but who knows.

[HiperSilver]

dont need an ECU, need a TCU though. There are mounting holes cuz te 7g did come with the 5 speed option. It is a huge job. very huge job. Its a pain in the ass and even if you know what your doing you will run into problems. If you never dropped a transfer case or never were the mechanical type this isnt like installing altezzas
