Anyone that's in Sydney with an auto setup and is serious about wanting to trade for a manual setup (in the next week or two, no later), please PM me or reply here asap with your msn and/or ph number, otherwise I'll most likely end up getting the parts from nvr2low.

For this kind of job you'll have to go to a mechanic to do it for you, not something you can just ask for help from one of the members on here.

I'd do it if I had a hoist!

Anyways, I was just wondering if you guys could help me out please with prices of how much I'd be up for both in parts and labour to get this done. If it makes any difference, I'm pretty sure it's a GPX. In the ad it lists the engine as "6 cylinder Petrol Multi-point injected 2.0L (1998cc)" and the seller did mention it had a Mivac when I went to see the car in person.

Also, I'm in Sydney if that helps you figure out the costs or part availabilities.

Thanks in advance for any help why'all can give me with this.
You don't know anything about FTO's, you didn't even bother researching the car that you're buying and you spelt Mivec wrong (shows you really didn't bother to do the tiniest bit of research).

Instead of spending like a week to learn the basics of manual and within a month you'll completely have the hang of it, you chose to spend a couple of gran just for a conversion? Are you that lazy?

I learnt to drive manual in my car and it's not hard.. if old ladies can drive manual, I'm sure you can too. Stop making excuses about not being able to concentrate on the road. I didn't know some people see with their left foot and hand instead of your eyes.

Dude ,I think youre just simply too harsh to a newbie , he might have reasons behind that he doesnt want to drive a manual , not like everyone loves manual . He might have thought he would grab a bargain but maybe if he bought auto in the first place woud be easier for him now . Anyways , dont be to harsh

or diy, great way to learn

can be done without a hoist just a bit more awkward. even think someone did a diy posted here?
