auto to manual
Discussion
Hi all I've just registered as I'm after a bit of technical advice. I own a automatic Astra and was intending to make it a long term project - doing some engine work, upgrading suspension, brakes and bodywork etc. The only problem is that its an auto which I find not at all fun to drive to be honest. I'm considering a conversion to manual but need some advice.
What parts would I need? - obviously the relevant gearbox, clutch, linkage and pedals/stick but i'm sure there will be more to it than that!
and also will it be worth it? Before anyone says, I really can't afford to upgrade to a different car and I would prefer to stick with this as I know my way about an Astra and its a clean shell. Any advice would be ace.
cheers, Phil
