Your right stupid questions don\'t exist on the MRC forum

The 20B has never been  manufactured with a clutch and manual gears behind it , unless any one out there knows different.

Yes as I understand they are Auto only.  I imagine some crazy Japs must have done a manual conversion on some though surely?  Would like to know if anyone knows of any.

It would be awesome to have a Cosmo drift car :D

Dave Morris is the guy to ask. I have a vague recollection that there\'s a manual 20B Cossie in Aus. I could well be wrong though! Any way, if any one knows, Dave will know!

One of the FIRST things I will do when I win the lottery, is buy the best condition 20b Cosmo I can find, and have it converted to Manual.

A 20B Cosmo still runs the 1/4 in 14 seconds stock though. Some are faster, Dave\'s car ran a 13.5 or thereabouts in stock form I think...

Imagine the fun you could have with a few mods - WOW!!
