The battle has been won in the war office. (the bedroom).
I have the green light to change my gearbox (fmx) to a 4 speed.
I'm thinking of an AOD. But now I'm entertain the idea of a manual.
Let's forget the wow factor for a moment and tell me which would be easier?
Ideally I'd like a 4 speed manual, but I'm suspecting I'll get put off by the various bit and pieces I may need to fabricate.
Has anyone done a step by step tutorial with pictures for this conversion? Even an AOD swap tutorial? What about a link to a website with this information?
I'll probably be doing the lot myself at home. I'm also imagining that I won't have to pull the engine for AOD swap. Is this also the case for the manual?
This may be a deciding factor for me.
All opinions wanted.
PS, I don't drive it enough to worry about 5 or 6 speed manual, but if it's just as easy and cost effective, I'm all ears....
PPS, would another 4 speed auto be worth looking at?
Cheers to all.
