Homer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Loads of info on the forum about this, there's almost a thread every week It's not a difficult swap if you already have a manual NA, sourcing the parts is the biggest challenge. Have a look here, it's quite a high level overview but gives the general idea: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?136136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Auto makes it a little more trickly, mainly due to sourcing the manual box. The 6spd is VERY expensive 2nd hand (£2800+), the 5spd is cheaper but are getting a bit hard to find. They are also not as strong. Auto to manual also means you have to do the tunnel mod, which means cutting and replacing part of the transmission tunnel. Plenty of details available on the forum how to do it though.
