Post by: jag60dog on August 24, 2006, 12:06:45 PM
I was wondering if anyone has done a automatic tranmission into manual transfer if so how much an how hard I it to do? Also does it cause problems like it will make the gearbox weaker or anything please someone help.:3Confused

i\'ve heard that this conversion can be done! you would use a manual gearbox and have to get all the clutch pedal, master and slave cylinders. the manual gearbox is very strong so no problems there.
your best bet would be to talk to carl from hayward rotary as i\'ve been told he\'s done this conversion before.

I think he\'s asking the other way around: swap a manual for an auto. So it ends up with an auto gearbox in...why you\'d want to do that though?

I can testify the manual box is very strong, the diffs are also good unless you are Brian Ellis. ;) :D
