I dont think it would be worth it. Would cost way too much. Anyone know a ballpark figure? I was thinking a couple g's to do it. Maybe 3 or 4 Heard its pretty bad though. My friend wanted to do it to his eclipse. Cant understand why he got auto anywayz.

Try a search for Auto Stick, somebody was looking into that. Try https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=41828 There might be some info there.

Trading in for an Evo? So instead of -$16,000 you'd have -$40,000? Remind me not to let you be my finance manager, majestic.

You'd be better off trading in for a used or new MT. That way you'd lose about the same amount of money, but you'd have a new car and a powertrain warranty if you're interested in that sort of thing.

the amount of money and time to change it over wouldn't be woth it. your better off convincing your dad to trade it in for a manual.. should be cheaper too.

Do a search. I started a group buy on upgraded Torque Converters for our Auto Trannies. Should reduce 1/4 mile time between .25 - 1 second. The company is called level ten. Check them out at levelten.com. We need 10 peoples to get the discounted price of $375. Originally priced $500.

labor could run between $700-$1500 depending on the place and how much they hook you up. this does not include parts!!!! parts are going to be killer seeing as how our cars are new, and you'll have a hard time finding all the parts at a junk yard.
