Yes, it is a manual transmission and i have searched many forums about the issue and can not find any related, the problem pretty much happened suddenly, no lights on the dash came on it was just driving down the road one minute and the next im broke down and wont start back up, there were no surges or dimming of the lights either, i checked majority of the fuses and they are all in tact, i replaced the distributor because i ran the test light on it and it wasnt responding put a distributor on and still no luck or progress.
