You would need all the computers.

provided the engine and transmission ecu's are seperate

4pleazn is selling manual transmission stuff in for sale forum

unless u do all or most of the conversion urself, ur lookin at spendin maybe $1000 or more, More than just simply replacing the auto trans.

goes for both manual and tiptronic

it would be cheaper, easier, and better to find (from a wrecker) a manual tranny and a computer from a manual te/tf (might need a few extra bits and pieces, u can grab them from the wrecker for cheap).

then just take it all to a good transmission place and they can fit the manual easily, they will get an auto electrician in for a few hours to hook up the computer and your done..

yeah not sure if i want to go back to manual , i used to drive manual and it seemd to encorage speeding and burnouts

maybe i should just behave, manual trannies last longer than auto's yeah ??

hmmm still considering all ideas at the moment

went to the transmision specialist this morning before work

he drove it about 50m's and sed this is ****ed ( quote ) he quoted me $2050 for a recon box installed.

he sed no to a manual conversion but i still want to find out about it

SO PLEASE HELP ME

is $2050 way to much,

how easy is it to do yourself

how much for a auto box for just parts

how easy is a manual conversion

how much are the manual boxes

if u can answer anyof these questions it would be greatly appreciated

Keep in mind i am relativley technical minded

I believe the one ECU looks after both engine and transmission. 2nd gens have an ECU and a TCU. Interestingly enough 3rd gen equivalents of Diamantes from Japan have a seperate ECU and TCU.

Monday im taking it into A Class Automatics to have a reconditioned auto box put in for $2000 all up

this guys is recomended by so many peoples also he takes the reconditioned box apart aparently and remachines and finishes everything with a teflon or brass coating to reduce the wear effect.

sounds good

im picking it up Tuesday.

cant wait to have a car again

2 train trips home and im already sick of the bloody things
