Wednesday 7th June 2006, 11:01 #2arbeeGuestThis user has no statuslooks like it is possible then! To be honest tho, the cost involved my be prohibitive - unless you are particularly attached to your car you'd be better selling and buying a manual. I guess the lack of manual cars in the US means that more owners are willing to do the transplant!

Thanked 2 Times in 2 PostsWould it be harder on an ME7 car that is fly by wire? Plus, what about the autobox ECU? It is something I have long thought about!!
