My mate has a manual I he's shiftness is so stiff and struggles to get in gears sometimes! He drove my car and said the shifts felt like an auto cause of the smoothness of the shifts! It all comes down to the tuner I guess! My only problem is I can hear abit of whining but I heard that's normal correct me if im wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T5 will start to whine once contact patch damage has occurred to third gear or the input drive. Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 22/05/05 04:51 AM Share Posted 22/05/05 04:51 AM So what's it worth to go from auto to manual? I miss driving stick friggin heaps, although I bought the auto because the T5 is a dog IMO. At the very least, a rip-shift kit would make it bareable. Cost estimate anyone?What could the auto set up parts be worth to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig is basically a class above the rest of us, and largely because of his experience. As for dyno readings, when my car read 332rwkw on Simons dyno, the next week it read 341rwkw on on Dyno Dynamics dyno here in Sydney.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
