Convert Auto To Manual Query

[TRD]

I have decided to convert the auto Gt to manual.

So basically I am enquring about a quote from anyone who knows how to do this. What do I need? Flywheel? Gearbox which I know, lol, pedals etc.

Anyone that can do it and if so for how much including all parts???

I would like to run it with an LSD box preferably but it will all depend on what's available.

I'm based in Essex area.

It seems to me that unless you've already got all the bits and know exactly what you're doing it's just as costly to just buy a manual in the first place. Fucking around with the pedals and shit puts me off.

i'm also looking at doing this over the next few months.. very interested as to know what needs doing..

i gotta agree with ste91 on this.

it does seem like quite a big, expensive job unless you are in a position to do the mods yourself.

StarletRick converted his so best bet is for him to see this thread

I converted mine so I'll put a list up of the bits you'll need to give you an idea.

==Gearbox (you can use the automatic driveshafts)

==Clutch slave cylnder

==Clutch master cylinder with piping

==Manual gear selector with linkages

==Manual 4EFTE flywheel

==Clutch pedal

==Full clutch kit

==You don't need manual clocks but its nicer to have them lol

==You will also need a connector off the manual box so that the reverse lights work

It's not an exceptionally difficult task but it can get a bit annoying, the hardest part of the whole process (in my opinion) was boring hole in the bulkhead to mount the master cylinder and getting the pedal to match the master cylinder. I got all the parts I needed of a crahed GT for £250, which was dirt cheap in my opinion. Hope this gives you a better idea mate.

Is it possible to do the whole thing with EP91 N/A manual parts on an auto EP82?

[Wee_Watsi]

Not entirely sure mate but I know that the master and slave cylinders are the same and the clutch piping follows the same route through the engine bay on both. What I'm not sure about is whether the pedals and linkages are the same.

Thanks mate. Very helpful indeed. I'll be looking into it soon.

Ste.. they are the exact same parts mate. but you would need the fte flywheel and so.. also if its an N/A .. the gear ratio's would be alterd.

Do you need to change the ecu ?

Seen ecu's on ebay

some are 4efte-mt

some are 4efte-at

or dont it matter ?

[Guest Enzo]

no you dont need to change the ecu but you do have to bridge a solenoid connection that would normaly plug into the auto box.

[StarletRick]

where abouts are you based? you seem local? ive done this and can explain it better in person.
