Conversion automatic to manual 1978 Camaro

Is this the only conversion kit option...?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1981-C...kAAOSwyKxXiCUq

Or is there another way?

We are talking about a kit that contains all the necessary parts.

That would depend on what transmission you want to change over to .Like a 4 speed Muncie M-21 .Super T-10 .You can use mostly factory parts .Like your original crossmember .Yoke and driveshaft as well .The 5 and 6 speeds are a lot of custom parts .Because they never came with those .And cost more to do so .Especially if you have to pay a shop to do so. But thats up to you .Good luck on what ever you do.

The point is that I am from Europe and a tax and customs duty is levied on every purchase. And that's not counting the cost of postage.
So it's easier for me to get a complete conversion kit than to buy individual parts.

And the only complete kit I found this TKO.

Thanks, but it's a conversion from a manual to a better manual.
My plan is to convert from TH350 to Manual.
A lot of things I would miss.
