Auto's are never maintain like they should be. Therefore 2nd hand one's are the same..f**ked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 Manual conversion usually goes for around $700 - 850. Then you will need to spend roughly another $500 or so on new parts to replace any worn ones, bearings etc. Plus your time to put it in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TronSpec 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 I'm thinking you'll be needing Gearbox (getrag 240?) Flywheel Spigot bearing Clutch kit Incl release bearing Clutch master and slave cylinder's and line's Pedal box and componants Centre console etc. I'm no mechanic so correct me if I'm wrong please.

bravo 35 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Where are you? There is a manual conversion thread on here and another on r3v with a full parts list. (but part numbers are for m20) Edited August 23, 2006 by bravomikewhiskey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 Don't forget the manual driveshaft, can be a bugger to source. The getrag 240 box is correct, but make sure it's for the M40, as the M10 box doesn't fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
