Can you change an automatic transmission to manual?

Answer

Yea, it is kind of a pain to have to install the clutch pedal and linkage, but basically its a bolt on for the tranny and clutch, and u need new drive shafts b/c they will be to long with the new transmission in there. I'm going to do it to my 92 Ford Ranger in the spring.

Answer

I once did it on a Datsun B210, taking advantage that I had to remove the auto trans to service an axle oil retaining ring. Note that you may also have to change the flywheel because the manual and automatic versions are in many cases different!

Answer

Sure its possible to change an automatic to a manual. The real question is "is it worth it". Remember that if you go through with it you may need to upgrade the bell housing and change out the driveshaft as well as modify or replace the vehicles computer.

Answer

well, yes and no, as far as i know it is impossible to change the transmission itself but it is possible in most cases to change an auto tranny car to a manual, will take some work and some money but it can be done.
