Manuel Swap

[Beamerboi]

I'm working on this too, gathering parts now. There are a ton of good writeups on AT/MT swaps, just search on Google and you'll find many sites and links to follow.

Figure on about $1,000 for all of the parts, another $800 to $1000 to install at an inexpensive shop, much more at other places. DIY is difficult, especially lying on the floor in a dark garage. You really want access to a lift to make this a pleasant experience.

Here is my list, gleaned from a variety of sources over the past year. Parts with an (x) are things I already have; still buying other pieces. I hope this helps.

They are just referring to the fact that you misspelled manual! There is a lot of information about manual swaps here. The search bar up too will help or you can scroll through the pages in the transmission section. It’s under engine and drivetrain. Good luck! Hopefully you’ll be banging gears before too long.

Lolol oh wow ya oops[emoji38] ya I did my research. It’s gonna take a little longer but will be worth it!
