Is it worth converting to a 6 speed from an auto ?
Is it worth converting to a 6 speed from an auto ?
I bought my 94 25th anniversary TA with an automatic because I couldnt find one in the rare 6 speed. I am just curious if it is worth trying to find the parts needed to convert and have someone do the labor or should I just settle for the automatic.
ANy opinions on the subject would be appreciated, along with where to get the parts and overall cost.
Thanks

Birdman7389 is right. Another friend of mine just did the swap from A4 to M6 and loves it. I prefer my auto. So, drive one and decide. It's not that big of a job, just time consuming like everything else with F-bodies.

It's $1500 and there's plenty of write-ups on how to do it. "Save yourself the trouble" of trying to trade in a car that has negative equity in it and just buy the kit, find some buddy's and do the swap.
I'm pretty well into my swap, and haven't found anything really difficult yet, but I have found it to be rather expensive if you want to put the "good stuff" in. Rebuilt tranny, Ripper shifter, stage 2 clutch, bit and pieces and I'm getting darn near 2500$
with 2.73's does it bog off the line?
i know many people put 4.10's in the 6 speed...
but what all must be done to get the dash to work right?
and im not sure what the scag or whatever its called where it doesnt let u shift right, but if i did a swap im pretty sure i wouldnt want that in there... so what must be done to remove that?
