Hi guys
We think the auto in our little runabout is crapping itself so are looking at either flicking it, or potentially changing it to a manual as I've found a guy on trade me wrecking a manual one.
My question is, how much work is it really to change it over? I've removed gearboxes etc before, and am pretty confident swinging a spanner, but the big thing for us is hidden costs. Obviously with two VR4's to feed we are keen to keep the viento, but at the same time the whole point of a runabout is to save money not to spend it!
It's in reasonable shape, and has only done 134000km so I'd be keen to hang onto it...
Any advice would be greatly received.
