Auto to manual conversion

That's actually a really good idea to screw it down, so does that effect how the center console goes in as well?
The center console has brackets that are welded to the floor pan. I suppose you could screw them on as well. Not too sturdy though. How about the z bar bracket on the drivers frame rail. It needs to be welded. It takes a lot of strain every time the clutch pedal is depressed. All the linkage needs to be very close to perfect or it won't work properly.
