Subject:auto trans -> manual trans conversion?
From:Larry Innes
Date:Sat, 24 Mar 2001 09:50:44 -0800

Hi, folks -

I'm in the same boat as a couple of you...I've got a leaky auto
tranny in my 85 GL Westy, which also is getting wonky in the shift
from 2nd into 3rd. Expert advice here is to replace it, which is a
$1500 CDN proposition for a rebuilt one.

What I'm wondering is whether or not anyone on the List has swapped
their auto for a manual. I'd be partial to a manual, assuming that I
can get one installed for something less than what the auto would
cost me.

All wisdom and advice welcome.

Cheers,
