strange query but would converting a clasic turbo from auto to manual be the pain in the ass i think it is?

Sounds like a lot of hassle, what you got up your sleeve? lol

No to sure, but it does sound like a lot of hassle.

At a guess, mechanically the gearboxes would swap over and use the same mountings.. But ECU would probably need swapped as a minimum..

But it's possible it would need a different section of wiring loom depending on how much of the automatic is controlled by ECU and unless you are strippign the cars down that'd be a pig of a job..

I wouldn't have thought impossible, but yeah a pain in the ass at least..

You may not need to swap the ECU. I know it is true of NewAges that ECUs had two maps; one for manual cars and the other for standard cars, a one size fits all sort of deal. At production, the respective map would be switched on for the car. This is how AndyF can provide twin maps for cars: an economical one and a super-duper one. Those who have this feature, engage the respective map from the rear-window heater button. Of course, you would have to pay for a remap, so that's another few hundred notes added to the cost and that is IF this twin-map feature exists in Classics. Oh and, this type of ECU is no longer presently used in the Hawkeye cars, so I never got my eco-map
