aww phil, I stated my reasons very clear, I can careless if my car produces less horsepower than right now if I go MT, I'm just having one of those episodes where I constantly keep hitting the brake pedal every time I try to shift........just an episode, I ma go estimate on the drive shaft and the dash and other goodies, if it comes out more than 2k.......then I will use that 2k and buy myself a turbo and call it a day......

ohhhhh, oh, 6 speed AT go FI ohhhhhh .... MT mishift sure .... how about your AT tranny BLOW UP altogether ?
Yep, anything is possible. but there are limits. this car is not the fastest straight car. and who said MT is for *Straight line* only ? ROFL . obviously you dont even know how MT actually helps in performance driving. So you might want to get an MT before you talk to me.
AT has its strength, I know, the ability to drive in traffic without much effort, or should I say, be able to drive in any conditions without much effort ? dont need to worry about shifting and stuff. sooooo ? its good for almost all cars, just not a sports car.
Usually the reason why people got pissed, simply because somebody pinpoint about their *weakness*, am I right ?
Have you wonder why the OP wants to swap the AT tranny to MT in the first place ? for what? looks ?
Go take a chill pill dude
oh, I think I can play Piano better than you.

my deal is this...saying 'the AT was a mistake' is pure ignorance if you don't know the person...PERIOD...i know the OP...n' im pretty sure he doesn't know you...so who are you to say he made a mistake? the kid is curious about a mod that's never been done before n' just because he wants to try it - suddenly he gets flammed for it? most of you MT guys are soooo quick to bash whatever the hell an AT guy wants to try instead of actually offering some useful info...some of you guys post more garbage on here than actual help - i feel if you're an actual tuner or mechanic - then maybe some of you could actually offer some help - i myself want to upgrade my 8 more than most - but some of you tools are too busy thinking inside a box that it seems that all some of you ever do on here is fall in line behind each other...tell me thats not the truth and i'll show you the biggest liar on this forum...

What I said was, at least IMO, its a total waste of money to do an AT to MT swap. it just does not make any logical sense.
and why would he want to swap to MT ? dont tell me its for fun. let me tell you. its for *performance* reasons.
Why not stick with AT then ? cuz down the road AT will still be slower than MT.
got the idea ? u need to take a chill pill.
it has been moved so Im just gonna leave it as is. Have fun with the project, at the end just dont regret anything.

ofcourse the tranny swap would be an upgrade...why else would he have considered it unless it either ran the car more efficiently or added horsepower - my stink isn't trying to convince anyone the AT is better in any way - my stink is that barely any of you will help! - lend a hand not a pitch fork -
btw - this is only my 2nd AT out of 8 cars...i know the differences between the two - had it not been for my more 'liberal' driving habits and endeavors with my previous platforms i would still be with an MT. my decision was based off of a realization and over-all pro's to con's. I'm not trying to race...and i'm not trying to beat someone from point to point - i have a traffic pusher in The Land Of Traffic that i'd like to add some more ***** to...that's all -

AT works for me fine, even tho all of my previous cars were mt exept for A6. For 11k I can take that **** that is coming to me because of of AT. I don't really care. At least I didn't pay 18k for same year and mileage.
