changing an automatic to a manual

[harri_z28]

is it possible to convert an automatic to a manual? or do you have to up and buy a whole new transmission?

...whole new tranmission, clutch, pedals, crossmembers, etc etc etc.

3k worth of crap on the cheap.

I think what you are looking for is an automatic with a manual valve body... I think...

to answer your question its not like can take an automatic and put a clutch and a shifter on it and its a manual....

I beleive there are valve bodies that will allow you to force an automatic to stay in a gear and not shift unless you tell it to, but would still be nothing like a true manual...

i want to know can u change from a 6spd to an auto dose the car have all the wiering tucked away in the harnes i have an 02 ss i want to change any info would be great !!

There is multiple threads about this conversion.

If you have a m6 and want to go to an a4 your going to have to get the harness, and a different crossmember plus the tranny plus tune your car.

Its a lot more complicated to go to a m6 than an a4.


Explain your situation in full depth.

Well the thing is i hate the m6 i would just reather have an auto . Thought about going to a th400 but would like to keep some type overdrive thats why i am looking into a factory type swap.

best way to swap m6 to auto.......is to swap cars or sell your and buy a auto. 3k is alot of cash that could go into alot better things

Its not that far...Louisiana to Georgia is about a day depending on where in Georgia. Atlanta is the majority of the day.

Tell me about it...Last time I went threw there a few months ago I got rear ended cause I had to slam on the brakes when some Caddy cut in front of me and slammed on the brakes (they damn near hit the car in front of them). 5 car pile up but lucky for me I was pulling a car hauler and got away scratch free.
