trasform my auto car to manual?

If it’s rear wheel drive, you can do it with a lot of fabrication. If it’s front wheel drive, you might as well forget it.

it is rather tricky, it will probably take a whole weekend. if you are going to do this i would recommend getting a new clutch and flywheel because you don’t want to put it on and find out the clutch is bad and have to take it off again. youll need to cut a hole in the floor and set up a pedal and connect the cable to the transmisson. this job will be like a lot harder on a FWD than RWD, if your car is FWD i would suggest not doing it, or paying someone to do it because, you have to pull out the engine and everything, kind of a big job. anyways take care and have fun.

You need to go a garage and talk to an auto mechanic if you dont have the skill to do it by yourself,anyway,if the job to transform it is costly,well i think its practical to sell out your old car and buy second hand car with manual transmission but choose the excellent condition.

Hi;

Sorry, but unless you religiously watch your rpm and gear, which most drivers don’t, you’re not going to see a change in mileage.

But that aside, let’s consider something.

Say you get a new or refurbished tranny, which will cost around $1000. Let’s say you do it yourself, and total cost to you is around $1200, in extra parts, etc.

Let’s also say it saves you 3 miles to the gallon. This will save you approximately $2.40 every 100 miles.

So, if you’re still following, it will take you 41,600 miles, before you have paid off the transmission.

That means, 41,600 miles, before you’re actually saving any money. Everything up to that, is just paying for the transmission.

Is it worth it?

I’d say no.

If it saves you 5 miles to the gallon, it’s still around 35,000 miles to drive. 7 mpg? Which I’d doubt anyway, it’d still take you 25,000 miles or so. Or several years of driving, depending on how many miles you do in a year. Average is around 10,000, so you won’t see any benefit for at least 2.5 years.

It’s just simple math.

The one key thing you forgot to include is the type of vehicle. Most people just assume we all know exactly what your vehicle is when they ask this type of question. Did it even come with a manual trans as an option. Seen a manual trans on a Ford excursion , or a Cadillac lately? Then as one person said , it will take an average of 2-5 years of fuel savings just to pay off the cost of the conversion in the first place. Fuel savings between a manual and a standard trans are minimal. Better off to trade in your car for a manual trans car. I have done several conversions for customers , and most of them sold the vehicle within 3 years , they found it to be a pain in the *** driving in town and went back to an auto trans

depends on what kind of car but it will cost more to do than buying a used stick shift will
