Matt_J Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Does anyone have an idea of how much a 5 speed and/or 6 speed gearbox would cost, new or used? Are they a pain to fit to an automatic? What ancillaries would I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_J Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 I think I would be better off trading in my N/A Aerotop for a manual!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Very expensive, someone on here did it! You'll need loads of other bits for a start , ecu , flywheel , clutch , pedals and loads of other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_J Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 The auto box is good, but no where near as good as a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 yeah the 1st auto i have had and i do miss the control that you feel when driving a manual ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_J Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Same here. The auto just isnt as responsive, I prefer more control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
