Manual Transmission General Question
Hello all.
I've been pondering the idea of the manual transmission conversion. I've been itching to have another manual drive car after driving automatics for many years. My SVX is my daily driver, but is really showing its age and needs some TLC so i plan to park it and refurbish it. Since my wife can't drive a stick, that rules out a manual as a replacement car but I'm really liking the idea of converting the SVX to MT for weekend fun. Some questions: -Those who have done this, any regrets? -Can the FWD only be converted? I have a 94 LS FWD. -Are there any places I could bring/ship the car to to have it done? I don't have the tools nor the inclination to do it myself. Thanks in advance. |

ZERO regrets....
Hands down the best mod to an SVX (if you like shifting gears:D) I don't know anyone near you that would do the swap for you, sorry.... And yes the FWD can be converted...easier than the AWD...just need to find a early FWD Legacy 5-Speed to use |

Interesting, I hadn't thought of the AWD conversion to go along with it.
Thanks for the replies. |

Did you happen to see the costs of those items? It's likely the cost of buying those is more expensive than just finding a spare AWD rear subframe... |
