FCP 7 Finished Project Seq from 60fps to 23.98 fps

Question

Thank you in advance.
I've been editing for a company which had transcoding issues with source footage recently, and long story short I had to re-encode all of the footage to the proper settings before editing, which is:
23.98 fps / Frame size: 960 x 720 / compressor DVCPRO HD 720p60/30/24 / pixel aspect HD (960x720).
During this process, probably when first noticing that something was very wrong with the footage, my main sequence was set to 59.94 fps, I did not notice until the project was 95% complete.
So now I have an entire video finished at 59.94 fps, it won't let me convert the sequence to 23.98, and even when it does all of the transitions and so forth are in 60 fps mode (which is how I discovered the frame rate very late, why is a 4 frame transition so fast??).
This is essentially an offline edit and when I drop the project folder I need to reconnect all of the properly transcoded footage which is 23.98 fps.  I am anticipating some major issues here, but at least the files should reconnect, I just don't know about the sequence ever changing from 60 fps.  I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you!

What you are going to have to do is make a new sequence that matches the settings you want. If they are to match a clip setting, then make a new sequence, drop a clip into it, and say YES when it asks if you want it to match. Otherwise, choose the easy setup you want and then make a new sequence. 
Then, copy and paste ALL of the clips from the 60fps sequence into the 23.98 sequence.  Gaps between cuts will appear sporatically. These will need to be manually fixed. No way around this.  It'll take a while, but this is what you need to do.
