Manual converting

Hi guys, I'm thinking similar posts may have bee put up, but maybe not about the gearbor I'm asking about.

 

I have a 1995 mk4 originally a gte auto, I have now single converted it and always wanted to go manual, but at the cost of a v160 I never thought it was worth it, imo.

 

However after looking at someone's build, they have used an e46 m3 6 speed, and they are ea silly available for around £500-£800.

 

So my question is, how much would it cost in parts (as I would do it myself) for the conversion, start to finish?

The car is running around 550 at the moment (at the crank) but would like to go higher, although I am not sure how much the e46 getrag wilL go up to before starting to deteriate.

 

Thanks, and like I said, if there's a similar post that will answer this, please link me :)

 

Cheers,

Tom

Theres some firm on facebook that charge 4k so i guess if you do it yourself it can be done cheaper, abc clutch kits are the kits ive seen mentioned, at 4k id rather fit a v160 for maybe an extra 1k at most
