hello all i know a friend who has a mint mk2 that he wants to sell but its auto so how easy it to convert to manual and what things do i need. Cheers
not particularly difficult, just a lot of parts to source: pedal box gearbox speedometer, clutch and accellerator cables full gear selector front to back all 3 engine brackets clutch kit + flywheel Driveshafts may be needed depending on what gearbox you end up with, auto shafts have 90mm cv joints and gti box needs 100mm
Throttle linkage will be different for a manual too - autos have a pedal side cable to the gearbox then a bowden cable that goes from the box to the throttle (for kickdown one would assume). Let me know how you get on, I'm thinking of doing the same.
