I have gone through the process with a 95 EVC.   Yes there is quite a bit of info about it on the archive for EV_Update,  a lot the the more recent stuff from my exercise in getting it done.   It is pretty straightforward but not quick and easy.    I had a 93 manual trans donor van to give the necessary parts.   One could purchase the necessities individually, but the donor is also a template to see how it all goes in as you take it out and transplant it.   

I have attached a pdf of extracts that I garnered from the archives that were useful in my task.

Regards,

Ted

He had a Rialta and was sick of all the problems he had with the auto.  I don't think it was easy, but what thing worth doing is?
