SV6 auto to manual conversion.

[-**wHiStLe**-]

Hey guys, looking into SV6's at the moment and need one asap. Problem is i'm dying for a 6 speed but there's none that are right for me. I think i've only seen one under 20g's.

So my question is, is it worth buying an auto now and converting it later on.
If so, what's required if possible and how hard would it be to go about it?

If anyone has done it or heard of it being done please let me know.

Thanks, Ryan.

LOL!
The SV6 Manual's are a bitch to find. Took me 6 months to find mine in 2007, and even then I was really really lucky, the 3rd one I saw was in mint nick, 18 months old, and beautiful.
Listed at 27, snapped it for 23.

If you're looking for 20 as your max, you're gonna be in for a long long wait. Try autotrader.com.au, which is essentially the Trading Post, and obviously the main 3.

If you're willing to venture over 20, we can talk business, but if not, all I can say is good luck and I hope you find one!! :yahoo:

hey mate, checkout "andyman's" profile as he's converted his stock auto wagon to a 6 speed manual. Personally i think don't buy an auto now then chuck a 6-speeder in as it would set u back about 4-5 K or more. Seriously not worth it unless you do it yourself. Just do your best & save a bit more for a manual. good luck

mate i pown a 04 sv6 & am toyin with the idea, i want a manual so bad but my price range was unable to handle a manual at the time, if u get any idea on prices let me kno plz

I hate the fact that from factory, manuals are cheaper but because nobody buys them they become rare second hand and thus makes them more expensive.

The market for new car buyers and used car buyers must be dramatically different considering so many people are looking for a manual sv6 second hand but so little get bought new.

your better off buying an sv6 with a manual box from factory.

the only reason andyman converted his was they didn't make a factory manual wagon otherwise he prob would have bought it

Just spend abit more time looking ur bound to find one that is a manual.
