Re: auto to Manuel

$700 is a ripoff for a junk T5 transmission. I sold mine COMPLETE T5 WorldClass that ran fine for $350. Much better options out there for the money spent..

Re: auto to Manuel

Just grab a T56 and start building on that instead. It's more expensive, but it's a much better transmission in the long haul.

Re: auto to Manuel

Find a wrecked V8 5-speed car; take what you need; sell and/or throw away the rest.

Yes a T-56 is a better trans in every way, but also tends to require a gear change, and you STILL have to do the auto-manual conversion. Do the conversion first using the above described method, since you'll have to do that no matter what.
