Gearbox Change

[eddies]

I have a mk1 Galaxy auto (AG-4 transmission) and want to know if it is possible to convert from Automatic to manual transmission. Physically it is niot a big problem as all parts are readily avaible....But the real question is ho do you eliminate the Autobox ECU and it's interaction with the main ECU.? has anyone performed this conversion?

I remember a friend of mine doing this a few years ago before ECU's, it was a nightmare.

 

New pedal box, new flywheel, new gearbox bell housing, new driveshafts, new gearstick and associated linkage, new hydraulics for the clutch and that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

 

You may need a new ECU if it can't be reprogrammed not to have a gearbox ECU.

 

Come on guys, I know there are some experts on the forum who know a lot more than me. :lol:

I can tell you from experiance of doing this in a ford granada.

 

Not easy thats before electronics yes you need all the electronics that have to be on a manual compared to the auto version.

 

if you can get a doner vehicle then it will be more easier for you.

 

Good Luck please keep us informed if you go ahead.

 

 

Kind regards
