Re: auto to a stick

definatly a headache, do a forum search on this, its been covered quite frequently.

my personal views... if its gonna be a drag car - auto, if its gonna be an autocross car - manual, daily driver.... personal preference. manual is more fun, auto is more liveable in traffic. i personally run a fully built 700R4 in my IROC, and dont look back. and i run a TH400 in my truck because auto's make better low rpm torque. the next toy will probly be manual just cuz it would be nice to have something fun to row the gears on.

Re: auto to a stick

it's not very difficult. you can throw in many different trannies too, but probably the easiest is gonna be a t-5. hawksthirdgen sells everything you need to do the swap for like $1,100 bucks... a t56 is a lot stronger but twice as much is price. do your homework nigga..
