I'm working on documenting my manual swap of my 2007 E86. I can make a detailed part list of everything that was needed if people are interested and let me know if you have any questions.

Fair play for doing it, but surely buying a manual one in the first place or swapping to a manual would have been cheaper?

I brought it up in the video, in the US manuals are around $3000 more expensive.

Superb video @Dr. Minimus well done

Every time I’ve looked at doing an auto to manual conversion the mechanicals haven’t put me off it’s the electrical side of it that was a mental block

Will subscribe for more

Oh- and your Mrs was right the bathroom was gopping. That’s a uk term feel free to ask for a translation

What a big garage! Thank you for posting this video, and I appreciate the work you are doing. From a personal point of view, I hate automatics and this will be a great guide for those of us in the UK who want to convert an automatic to a manual.

Haha, just collected my (new to me) e86 and had to drive it home round a full half of the M25 in the evening traffic in the rain. I was very glad it was an automatic.

Bigwinn I had to google "gopping" and listen to someone with a birtish accent saying it but it's spot on.
