Manual Swap Feasible or Fiction?

[4cylfukboi]

For like 50-60k it can be done by going to the dealer and just buying a manual.

How much would a swap run ya, estimated, do we know?

I don't know how many times exaclty I need to reaffirm this. However, the value of these cars now will not remain the value. They will depreciate. As they depreciate a larger spectrum of modifications will become common place.

It will make sense then, does it now? That was my question or what I was implying. Seems expensive and difficult af is all. No hate, hah.

Not gonna lie I didn't read the whole thing after I saw the list.

It doesn't really make any sense now. It's simply a collection of information until it can affordable be put into practice by someone willing to attempt it.

It's wild that this is a sticking point. Look at 5 and 6 year old bmws already getting manual swaps. This also completely disregards the production numbers of manual cars which are far less than that of their auto counterparts

Surely you remember the same shit with people starting to collect AWD parts from CRVs a decade before AWD K-swaps were a thing. Someone was first, and the guy that was first made a fortune and had all the information ready and willing.

Yah, but I don't really remember that talking off much, either.
I guess enough to justify all of the effort and waiting.....?
