Manual To Auto & Aps

[Evotel]

Two part question for those more knowedgelable than myself.

1. I have found a manual to buy that has all that I want. Ultimately I'll look to upgrade the box and clutch. What I would like to know is if at that time I can upgrade to an aftermarket Auto & Clutch without any other major changes?

2. Has anyone installed APS Phase 2 or 3 with a standard manaual? If so how has it gone, how long until it need replacement etc. I'm thinking of "only" going to Phase 2 for the moment so as to keep some money in reserve in case the box blows........

Thanks to anyone who can help with the above.

I guess if you find all the approptiate bits, or someone who wants to change their auto to a manual it shouldnt be a big drama. You could do a gearbox swap + share labour costs

Not in perth by any chance are you?

Brissy - bout as far away as you can get lol........

1. IMHO if I was going to do a gearbox upgrade I'd more likely consider a Malwood T56 which I believe would be a cheaper and stronger option than the time and money it would take to install an auto. I'd imagine it would be quite difficult to do a manual to auto conversion considering the wiring harnesses etc.

2. I think it would all depend on your driving style and how you utilise your gearbox. With a stage three I wouldn't expect the standard gearbox to last too long.

the gearbox would last depends o driving habbits at 300rwks but the clutch wll stat spliping after a while.I have been told swapping from auto to manual or the other way you need a pcm reflash. and you can buy a tyfoon 6speed from ford for $5500.00 plus gearbox mount and tail shaft yoke and it fits straight in

Your answer is MONEY depending on how much you wanna spend.

At the right price anything is possible.

yeah would depend on driving habbits, if a good clutch was to be installed youd probly get 2 years out of a manual box if respected.

Plus pedal box, pedals, gear shifter, shifter boot, hydraulic slave and master cylinder, clutch, flywheel, then it will probably bolt in...... need a tad more than $5500!

Maybe, but he is already going to have a manual, so it will already have all that junk installed right
