Is it easy to install a manual into a automatic.

thats pretty much a "how long is a piece of string" question. Plenty people here could do it in 4 hours blinfolded, but me... i wouldnt have a clue how to do it by myself and i even helped when mine got converted haha

theres a great tech doco done by "voxace" that could help you decide how hard it is for you.

Took me two days following the doco comfortably. I could have finished it in one, but the doco is for a 6. For an 8 there are a few more things I had to consider and when you do it at night, nothing is open lol. Following the doco, if you have basic tools and a jack and possibly a friend then give yourself a day or two.
