I'm looking for a manual gearbox for my auto, ideally would like a supercharger one, with drive shafts!
Guys let me know what you got!

I have not got a gearbox but would love to know how you get on with the conversion. I assumed that it was a tricky thing to do as with all these auto superchargers around you would think people would convert them but it does not seem to happen. I know changing a gearbox is pretty easy so there must be more to it than that, perhaps the ecu needs changing?

Looking on the good old Internet you can do it without an ecu! But I'm planning on changing it!
Pedal box, linkage, dials! Usual bits. I have too much time on my hands

I probably have the pedal box, gear stick and cables somewhere. I assumed there would be sensors and that for the auto gearbox.

Contact someone like Paul Sims and get a price on evdry thing .Gearbox mount is different as well and possibly the loom as the auto doesnt have a volt gauge. Vacum pipes in the engine are different and throttle linkage. The dreaded clutch pipe and bracket as well bit of a job on youve got there

well if you have to much time on your hands then I have some thing for you. A manual supercharger box with LSD. But the box is not in good condition so it maybe worth taking the LSD out. I also have a non lsd gearbox but again not the smoothest of gear changes from 2nd to 3rd. from the two boxes you should be able to get one good box.

But if Gary has a good box go with that as it will save you lots of time.
