i have both drivelines - keep it auto or go manual?

[poomba]

Hi all.

Had an issue with my zf 6 speed on my xr6t that identified the requirement for a rebuild.

So i brought a full 6 speed manual conversion, diff and all.

Found in the end that my zf problem was a bad wire connection causing voltage drop.
Fixed wiring and zf held up to multiple 400rwkw dyno runs...

So now i have a 6 speed manual conversion sitting in my shed ready to go...

Do i sell or do i convert?
I prefer manual, but i still need to buy a clutch setup capable of the power. Prob about a $1500 exercise.

how much do you think i could sell a full 6 speed zf conversion for, pedal box, diff, the lot. .
is a BF xr6t if that makes a difference. ..
Cheers.

20 years ago I wouldn't have foreseen saying this, but post ZF autos are usually faster, easier to drive, and quieter. So the only real reason I'd be tempted to get a manual car is (a) a new small car, eg. Hyundai that needed every last bit of power to get around, or (b) buying a new large car and couldn't scrape together the extra $2000 for the auto :-)

Would the conversion also need some sort of engineers certificate and compliance sticker?

I would have suggested selling your car and just buying a manual but it sounds like you have done some mods.

putting aside which one is better there is a couple of other questions i would be asking myself first
is it a daily driver
do you do any towing
the daily commute is it slow ,heavy,stop,start
if you have a partner can they drive a manual
manuals might be fun but if the answer is yes to any of the above the smile can soon disappear
but in the end its your decision

Thanks all. I think the decision is made...

Will stick the conversion in the four sale section
