Re: Does a 5MT swap increase the resale?
I paid more to get a manual gearbox. But I think the market these days is tending more towards originality. If it really is clean and relatively rust free it could bring a decent price at auction. There's one on bringatrailer.com right now that you might want to follow to get some idea of the market. Hagerty's price guide shows values on the upswing as well.
If you do opt for the manual, make sure it's a quality job. I'd love to see what a well done 5-speed WRX swap would bring on BaT!
