Your V'Ger is really a "K" car on growth hormones.

I love "K" cars .

You should be able to get the manual steering from a Shadow or Sundance and make it work with little or no effort.

Same goes for the manual tranny.
These are great little drivetrains.
There only real congenital birth defect was soft autotrans clutch packs. Sometimes the packs would die before the car was out of warranty

and other times they lasted till 150k miles..

Also look to the Dodge Caravan for parts, I believe some of those were "Economy Models" meaning they did not get auto trans and power everything(steering incl).
So find an 95 Shadow, 2.2 4cyl, 5spd, manual steering, and you have everything you need to swap and play.

Hope this helps,
Schultz.
