Tech, we have discussed the work involved with converting to manual. I have the IPD computer, would it really involve more than just reprograming the ecu or at worst getting a manual ecu from a euro spec car or stand alone. getting the trannie, drilling a hole in the fire wall, mounting the master cylinder, slave cylinder, manual pedal assembly, adding clutch, manual cross member, few other minor parts. I think if i got a wrecked car, than these problems really arent that bad. Am I missing anything?

 

If you could find a wrecked car that would be awesome.
I think you covered most of it already.
