[DML] Re: Auto to Manual conversion

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The conversion itself is not technically difficult. Getting all the
little pieces, parts, bits, etc, will be the hard part. Without a
donor car on hand it will be very difficult and EXPENSIVE. You may
recoup some of the expense by selling the left over parts. It will
turn out to be MUCH cheaper and faster to just fix what you have and
if you really want a 5-speed sell the car you now have and buy a
5-speed. As expensive as a rebuilt automatic transmission may seem it
will be cheap compared to the conversion. A lot faster too. Even with
a new shift computer. All you may need to fix up the auto trans is a
fluid and filter change, external adjustments, and a shift computer.
Make sure the vacuum modulater is working and check the line pressure.
