You forgot to mention the mod I helped you with.
Should probably introduce myself....

Heh, sorry I just had to.
No rush on the vodka, I don't drink as much as I used to.

Not sure if you're thinking of the same person Smitty!
I do have a spreadsheet, what do you want to know exactly?

hmmm...much hassle in the doing the evo swap and incorporating the front half of the bellhousing? or is it a custom fabrication job?
the reason i ask is my galant is currently auto but ill be doing a manual swap soonish and obviously finding evo gearbox/clutch/clutch parts will be easier than finding a manual vr4 set up etc...

If you can get some bits of alloy and get them welded to the top of the gearbox and drill them out to mate to our engine as only two holes don't line up. Otherwise you will need a donor box to get the front of the bellhousing from as the auto will be different.
Bradc is currently doing this with his 6 speed box.
other than that you need to swap the shift bracket from a VR4 to the evo box. you dont need to swap the whole assembly, just the one that does the side to side (gate) when you are changing gears. if yo dont do that, you gearstick will sit funny and pushing you gearstick straight forward will put you in 1st, rather than 3rd.
Its a lot simpler than it sounds, and finding that shift arm would be relativly simple here in NZ, and is tiny so is rather postable. If you decide to go a head I could source one for you!

Taylor, do you know if the vr4 manual bell housing would mate up to the 6 speed transmission? Or is brad forced to go the welding route because they don't ?

Just to clarify, the first part of the gearbox that bolts to the engine and has the clutch in it is officially referred to as the clutch housing. The part that holds the gears in it and bolts to the chassis next to the battery is call the gearbox casing.
Both of those parts are completely different between the 6 speed and 5 speed.
The EVO 5 speed and the VR-4 5 speed have very very similar gearbox casings and the shape at the clutch housing and gearbox casing are the same in VR-4 and EVO 5 speed. The only difference in the gearbox casing is the mount to the chassis.
The clutch casing between the EVO 5 speeds and VR-4 5 speed are also very similar, but the mounting points on the engine side are obviously quite different.
You can swap the internals between any EVO 4-9 5 speed and a VR-4 box with no problems (as stated above)

what about when it comes to master and slave cylinders between evo 4-9 and vr4's?
for example, to do a manual conversion on a vr4 from auto to manual. obviously this is appearing to be a slightly cheaper and probably more easily accessible parts method, than sourcing manual vr4 bits.

I would order new cylinders from Ralliart to avoid problems with seals and what not.

yeah, but would it be new cylinders for a vr4 or for an evo? as it would be an evo clutch/gearbox, i would assume evo cylinders. are they compatible? i know the brake cylinders are...
