milkchoclety Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi everyone. I own an '84 Bluebird which currently has a FWD CA18E Auto in it. I really want to convert this to a manual, but unsure whether to buy a manual gearbox if possible to fit it to the current motor, or buy an already manual motor. So a couple of questions: Which method will be the easiest/most cost effective? If I were to buy another whole motor, what models would bolt straight in? Would converting to manual be worth it? Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Just get a manual box, flywheel and clutch, gearbox mount, clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder. I have done it on a couple of U12's and it's pretty easy if you have the parts. Easiest would be to buy a damaged or rusty manual one and have it beside your car so you can just swap all the parts that are different. Also you will have to short out the park/neutral switch from the auto gearbox so it will start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
