Re: Manual Conversions
HELL no. It's Tiptro or nothing, a manual destroys the point of this car IMO. I've got the dreaded 1725 "TC stuck open" fault but the car is still very drivable but getting worse. It'll flutter a bit if you trying nailing it in a tall gear but that's only happened once or twice at I always drive in tip and match gears. It also happened on the MRC rollers. I'll be calling on Warranty Direct very soon but I want to organise a few things before hand.

Bad news.
I know what you mean about denaturing the beast. Don't think I'd bother to be honest, but I would like to have a go in one
Funny how you get used to the tiptro then even start prefering it.
Are you using a standard TCU?

Re: Manual Conversions
that kit is a good find....
i might bring myself to take on the job, if i can aquire the parts over a period of time and do it to a high miler perhaps...
if you go to all the effort of the manual.. they it would be a crime not to put on some huge turbos and get it up to 1000bhp... leave the outside as standard as possible and keep debagded... it would be awesome!
I wish some of the manuals that already exist would show us some more footage so we can experience it a little bit , dyno footage does not cut it

Re: Manual Conversions
There's quite a good YouTube video about the MTM clubsport manual but its in german. I wonder if he sounds as retarded if you can speak the language.

Re: Manual Conversions
Those bonnet vents are GASH. So all MTM Clubsports are man S6s?
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Manual Conversions
That one is anyway. Don't know if they made any more. I'd still have it if it came up for sale, I think.

Re: Manual Conversions
Drifting to this more and more now...
I like the idea of the diesel box with the lower ratios.
Anyone actually had an off the shelf quote from the usual workshops for a conversion?

Re: Manual Conversions
The S6 box + uprated clutch sounds like the easiest way forward
Must be a few S6 around at breakers
