Auto to Manual Swap

TopPrelude · Post by **TopPrelude** » Mon May 12, 2014 1:29 pm

Hey people,

So far I have a donor car and an LSD box (on its way / courtesy of NewKid) to conduct the auto to manual conversion.

Since i am making the effort was thinking of upgrading the flywheel to a fidanza light weight fly possibly also upgrade the clutch. As the car will predominantly be used as a summer road car is it worth upgrading just the fly, both fly and clutch, or leave everything stock?

If anyone has any experience or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best

Alex.

Forgot to mention earlier, but some autos have a different transmission bracket, so worth and inspection against the manual one to see if you'll have an issue.

Cheers fella. Won't the manual transmission bracket be on the donor car?

It will, but will need spot welding off and welding to your car, that is if you have the problem, confusingly I've only heared one other person have this issue, and myself of course......

Personally since your going to be in there id 100% do the clutch as a minimum, the atr clutch kit comes highly recommended, @merlin knows the best place to buy them at a good price. Changing the flywheel for a lightened will make the car more responsive on the throttle.

Cheers guys, and I presume the ATR clutch is a straight swap?
