xA Automatic -> Manual Tranny Swap
Does anyone have a Manual xA?
Do you want an Automatic?
I am willing to swap transmissions with anyone that has a Manual.
And we can split the cost of what it would take to install.
If someone is willing to do this, please let me know........

Your 100% better off just trading your car in for a manual, not only will the costs be high, but you will also encounter so many problems that its not worth it. And also your warrenty will be gone.

Kind of amazing really.
The car hasn't even been released to the rest of the country yet... and there's already "I wanna make my car a manual" on the boards?
I thought this was a big deal over on the 300Z forums... I guess while the boards change, the people stay the same?

I'm not going to trade it in, I've already done too much with it, I just want to add to it.
So:
A: I would like to swap with someone and split the costs.
B: If you guys know of a company that sells xA trannys at a discount.
C: If you know of a company that sells manual racing trannys.
These are my ideas. Just post it here.
Thanks......

what are you trying to achieve by doing the swap?

I'm also more comfortable with a manual.
So, why did I not get a manual xA?
Because I'm an idiot.

if you plan on racing this, i would definately go for the swap. if it is a daily driver then i would probably think it wouldn't be the best thing to do. my friend did a auto to manual swap on his 98 prelude and he is doing pretty good with it. make sure you get good work and go for the cheapest. i will see if i can find anything around here. couldn't you also pull the tranny from an echo? there are more of those around then a scion.
