RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 getting a tad fed up of the auto's transmission losses. Is a 6-speed cobv worth doing on shall I just go BPU and be happy that I've got a car that isn't a PITA in traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 you could buy a new car in black (the fastest colour) that is manual. would be easier to be honest Martin. the conmversion is around the 5k mark, but obviously depends on used part prices, and how far you go.

whitesupratt Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 5K to change the transmission! Can't be surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 5k? Blimey, I think I'll stick with the lardy box then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 deep breath.... Tlicense did this, click the link - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=16773 the auto box pulls timing on gearchanges to ease the load on the transmission, so ECU needs changing. also box, pedals, drive shaft iirc, possiby diff need changing, but dont quote me, and labour....all equals not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Bloody hell. Right, forget that then. I really could buy a new car for that. Move along. Nothing to see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Think again. I got all the bits you need for £2800. Thats EVERYTHING. Ecu,loom,clutch,flywheel,shifter,shifter surround,pedal box,clutch master and slave cylinders,and 6spd box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Martin - add power, be happy agreed, although im just about to start the conversion. the only reason im changing is that the standard autobox is only good for 500bhp. i reckon all in it'll end up costing me alot less than £2000 . also ive had the auto for 2+ years and fancied a change. the auto is one hell of a box.

JohnK Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Its a monumental amount of work so unless you can do it all yourself it will cost near the 5k mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
