    Default VY auto to manual conversion?

    Hi,

    I'm just wondering if it's possible to take my car to someone and have it converted from auto to manual? I know it'll be costly if i can, and i can't do it myself so i'm just wondering where i would go to have this done, and how much it would roughly cost.

    VY Calais.

    Thanks for your time.

    Regards, Ben

    If you buy all new parts will be min 6-7k inc labour. Your best bet would be to just buy another car already manual or find someone who has a manual and wants an auto and do a swap of parts. It will still cost a lot if you pay someone too do it for you, it would take at least 3-4 days to do the swap over.
