August 17, 200223 yr I am in the process of converting my Auto to Manual. But I would like to hear some comments from people who've done the conversion. Also I want to know if the engine has to be removed for this purpose. Thanks
August 18, 200223 yr Hi Mate, Yes do it, I did my own, its a bit of work fut it is the best thing you will ever do!!! Call me if you want any info!! 07801 944500 Mark
August 18, 200223 yr I did it, no you don't have to take the engine out, and it is definately the best thing I have ever done with my Z, the difference in performance is phenominal, can't recomend it highly enough!
August 18, 200223 yr Author Thanks guys I cant wait to do mine as well. I have found a TT Z (front half) with all the bits for 800 quid. I will post some comments as soon the conversion is done.

August 18, 200223 yr What about your level 10 torque converter, do manuals use a torque converter? Was your auto box upgraded in anyway? (if so I'll buy it!!) Trev.

The Level-10 Converter will be on Sale as soon as I swap to Manual. That mod drop my times by 0.8 sec in 1/4 mile. And is the best mod i did for my car in terms of drivability and performance.
August 19, 200223 yr Author The gearbox is in excellent condition. Is upgraded (like i said) with the converter which is smaller than stock (less weight) and the stall speed is 3200RPMS. When you hit the gas .... then booom Gearbox looks like new. Car has only 41000Km = 25000 Miles. Serviced when Converter was instaled (6 months ago) I was planning to sell the gearbox as a separate unit without the Toqrue Converter (cause it cost me 1350 US dollars inc shipping + taxes) but if you want both then we can make a deal. But at the moment we have to wait for few weeks until the job is finished. When everything is available I'l drop you an email.
August 19, 200223 yr So did you get a same standard ZX box for the manual? or something new and sportier?

I will propably change the gearings (from www.zedparts.com) cause I will upgrade my Turbos and injectors and i would like to have longer first gear. (80-100Km But dont know khow exactly)
