[QUOTE="seewai, post: 475510, member: 11307"] A few things to check and consider before your send your ride for manual tranny conversion, I had mine done and a few things still pending resolution: 1. passenger side auto-tilt during reverse not yet working, some wiring to be rectified 2. under certain condition, PDC doesn't come active after engaging reverse gear. 3. Make sure meter cluster is exactly the same type as what you have. Mine has 3 connectors, the one comes with manual tranny has only 2 connectors, workshop still looking for one for me. Without this, "TRANS. FAILSAFE PROG" will always be lit I'm using 5-speed GETRAG but not sure of the model but overall I'm satisfied with its performance (so far). RPM is relatively high comparing to previously with auto tranny. 100kph - 2500rpm about 500rpm increment per 20kph increase 200kph - 5100rpm approx Total damage about 17k. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
