worth converting to manual?

[starh4x]

do any american galants have tiptronic auto transmissions or do u have just plain autos?
i am wondering if it is worth even thinking about ever converting to 5 speed.

i have the 4 speed tiptronic auto right now.
which i realise is no where near the same as a manual, i just have more control of my rev range. should i be happy with this? or eventuallly convert? thoughts please

We just have regular autos, no tiptronics for us, but a lot of guys here have 5 speed conversions. I don't know what kind of work it would take to convert yours unfortunately.

^^ Ain't that the truth..haha. Wont go back to auto after the swap, it's too much fun....

yeh but the problem to start with is that its hard enough to find manuals. so i dont no how easy it would be to get a trans form a wrecker. if they were as ocmman as autos i probly would of bought one in the first palce but oh well.

im happy with my tiptronic for the moment, easy to to do things while driving lol

Is there even anyone here who did the swap but says it wasn't worth it? lol Once you are on the other side of the fence, you just keep loving the 5sp.

First tiptronic I've owned, scratch, first auto I've owned.

I like it for town driving which is mainly what I do.

Don't think I'll do the five speed swap unless/until it craps out...All I plan to do is take it to the drags now and again.

I'm enjoying the leisure hehe

Totally not worth doing here man.... for what you'd pay to do the conversion you could pick up a manual VR-4

[Jasmine]

Yeah, did I mention your car sucks :P

Just jokes man, I wouldn't be spending big bucks on it that's all.
