Should The Stag get a manual conversion?

Fark no!

Yer lets put in a box that makes the car slower... Makes total sence. You'll never smash gears in your Neanderthal cog swap box as fast as you will with a tricked up auto, go and see a good auto place (I used a&t in toowoomba and they were excellent) and get a good firm shift kit set up with a small stall converter (or a large one, I personally now wish I put in a 4g converter). Now line up the gear monkeys and laugh your ass off as you leave them in your wake (yes that is a boat joke)

Come for a drive in my car, you'll never want a dirty flat capper box ever again...

Unless of course he wants to go around a corner then he will be much slower. It's all about application padawan.

Traffic is always shit in Brisbane. I get so fed up with idiots doing 10-20 below or not moving into the centre of the intersection when they have the chance. I kind of want to install a cow catcher so I can just plough the f**kers out of the way. I has a little bit of road rage.

I heard about that on the news Ants. Pretty Ghay. Felt sorry for you for a moment til I looked up and realised that I too was stuck in traffic because some numb nut rammed someone up the ass on Anzac avenue.

well my wife left Brisbane around 5:45pm and she's still not home.

Yes we'll.... The more Ie been around well built autos the more see the inadequacies of the manual box, especially when put side by side with my manulised auto

You do not have a lot of track experience so I am going to cut you some slack here. ..but a manual box plays a critical role in how you set up a car for a corner that an auto can not replicate. And I have driven a gear box just like yours before and have experienced how it works.

Tip is good for this. From what i can ascertain, he's seeking a big fat cruiser with grunt. A manual box doesn't fit the application.

Eggxackery. I was disagreeing with Nicks stance of I have an auto therefore it is better for everything.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
