Hello folks!
I've had my Sigma automatic for over 2 years now but recently I've met a guy who had the luck of getting his hands on extremely rare manual version (i guess that mt 24v make less than 5% of all 24v sold).
After driving my friends MT Sigma I simply fell in love, the sound engine makes and the way the shifter and clutch work are simply amazing...no words are good enough to describe it.
(Damn and it is 14 year old car worth about 4000 AUD)
Since I've put a lot of work and putting a lot of money (i've got lpg injection installed not so long ago - AUD 1500 - i know it is pretty cheap here) into my car I guess selling it is not an option (I won't even get 75% of the money I've spent).

Therefore I had this idea of doing AT to MT conversion.
At the moment I'm only considering the option - I'm not completly sure what modifications are required and if they are really doable without requiring some extensive work to the car.
Could you please point me then to the thread If there was any related to the topic or to a website which would give some more information? This will be greatly appreciated

2 day job mate..
Ummmmm yeah its all in that thread there.
Also, words of wisdom, with the manual brake pedal, dont bother (took me 3 hours) Just get the angle grinder out and make the auto one shorter, thats all the difference there is.
Any Q's shoot
