    Default Auto to Manual.

    G'day, I have a Automatic VY commodore, and I am fast getting kinda bored with the automatic.

    What I want to ask is, is it possible to convert it to a Manual, if so is it expensive and would it even be worth it?

    Andrew, the conversion is possible. However the time and money spent to have your car running a manual transmission is, IMO not worth it. Set aside $5000 for the conversion mate. Your best option is to buy a factory manual car, which are rare but well worth the wait. I drive a manual VT V6 and its great fun compared to the auto. All the best.

    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Yeah I thought it might cost a fair bit, and for that price it definately is not worth it haha.

    Yeah finding a Factory manual one is hard, especially for under 25k.

    But cheers for the info anyways.

    Andrew.
