From what I am told, manual and automatic-equipped cars used the same brake pedal (I am still unsure though).
The axle ratio is 3.55:1.

matt, jawa is jokin sayin they arent manuals.  fyi matt got his done at MMS as well.
they drive quite nice. trannys are a little noisy. and alot of vibration because of his really stiff mounts. aside from that it performs very well.
and yes, i am 2/2 6 speed 3400's. matt is 1/2.  the secret is revealed!

Did Mike have issues with your axles? This pic has me worried about the height of the output on the trans, the other makes it look like the engine sits in front of the hubs rather than inline. Is the stock setup like this? I am an engine guy, not an axle geometry expert.
Cool to see some manual N bodies. I love my 5 speed grand prix  |

Ben:
I had to shorten the drivers-side axle to keep it from binding with the diff when the car got aligned. It drives fine now. That picture was taken on jackstands, so the suspension is at full droop. Everything is aligned correctly at ride height. |

you mean 6 speed?
the swap is really down to the last wire. everything works as if the car was made from factory with this transmission. have to push in clutch to start car, and once put in reverse the reverse lights come on.
Mike from MMS did take some time on the car... but he did an AWESOME job, i honestly couldnt be happier with this swap.
Edit: Congrats Two0123 and Matt on AOTM.

Glad to hear everything is going good. Mike does great work....never understood why he got bashed on here so much. He's a nice guy....SMART and does some quality builds. Did he tell you about the AWD Impala he did? bad ass.
Anyways, GET SOME VIDEO UP!!!! (im the last one who should be telling someone to get pics/video up since i STILL haven't posted a pic of my new ho lol). In due time.....in due time

I have some really crappy iPhone video if you're desperate.
Holding the phone, steering and shifting simultaneously is not exactly trivial.
