Parts For Manual Conversion ?
Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:48 pm
Does anyone have a link to a list of parts that's needed for a manual conversion please ?
I'm weighing up the cost of a conversion against a recon of my Auto.
I have a friend who has done countless conversions and engine swaps, but only with Jap cars. He seems to think there will be zero issues with carrying out the work, it may just take time as the engineering is very different.
Any pointers so I can tally up a list of needed parts would be much appreciated. Whilst I do like the idea of a lazy auto, I do think if I wanted more power down the line and to future proof the risk of another failing box, that Manual may be the better option. Will also make it a bit more of a drivers car, which I must admit, I do miss. Paddles are all well and good, but just too slow to change and when turning the wheel are too much of a mystery as to weather it's the up paddle or the down paddle, as such I rarely, if ever use them.
I'm considering taking the car off the road over the winter to get this done and would like to get the parts in place over the next few months if possible.
Thanks as always for any pointers
