Evotel Member 22 Member For: 20y 1m 6d Location: Bris Vegas on Da South side Posted 19/01/05 11:32 PM Share Posted 19/01/05 11:32 PM (edited) 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. Edited 19/01/05 11:37 PM by Evotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest memphis Guests Posted 19/01/05 11:42 PM Share Posted 19/01/05 11:42 PM 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 costsNot in perth by any chance are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to anyone who can help with the above.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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest memphis Guests Posted 22/01/05 02:01 AM Share Posted 22/01/05 02:01 AM Maybe, but he is already going to have a manual, so it will already have all that junk installed right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
