Gul going manual...

[Immingham]

Well the auto is giving up the ghost. so it's time to go manual :.
So now i need a list of the things i need, this is where you lot come in

which gearbox, clutch, ecu and all the other bits and also where to get them..
once its manual i think a remap is on the cards.
so please feel free to make a list as all the help is greatly appreciated

To help with the conversion your better buying a cheap manual car, that way you've got all the bits you need ...

Buy a manual T5 car and then you have the wiring loom and other small pieces , it's an easy conversion, 1/2 a days work

I sometimes feel the same mate, normally when I pull up at Islands/traffic lights and forget to dip clutch...

I love the auto, but it seems to be the weak link..
And it just feels really lazy off the mark

Auto's are good on the 1/4 mate my mrs regually pulled 14.6/7's in an auto 855 with just a rica nothing else, got my ass whipped a good few times

What'll the standard auto take Bhp wise??

[Biff]

I think if your used to a manual previously & you can drive I wouldn't choose an auto. I searched high & low for a 855 t5 but they were all ruined. If the auto box is knackered & you want to make a project out of it then do it.
Without brown nosing Neal has modified his 850r perfectly, its pretty obvious the man is a driver & I think its the manual conversion that's probably complimented the decent brakes etc. autos are nice day to day & yes they are quick...
It's my car & I say when it changes gear!
I await some hate for this now. Lol

I know someone who's done a couple, he'd be able to offer some handy tips.

He swears by his auto converted 6speed. I would love to do it someday with an m66 & a gripper diff.
Boom. That's the sound of my prop.
