Do you have any experience working on cars? If not, then listen to your mother.
just tell her it's your car and as long as you don't have anything illegal in it, you can do what you want with your car.

If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.
My parents tried to pull the same thing. I said you're wrong its MY car. I paid for it maintained it and drive it. The fact that it is under your name is because insurance companies wanted to charge me more than the car cost in insurance a year. I now get cheaper insurance than you guys and would like it if you hand over the title.
you'll have a harder time selling the car if its manual
you only get better mileage if you drive it better; but you can get worse if you're shifting and shift points are crap
since you have to convince your mom (LMAO) tell her manual's are way more reliable, cheaper to repair, and there's less that goes wrong on them (specific to mitsubishi). in general, mitsubishi manual tranny's are bulletproof. automatics are made of paper machet components
wish i had the guts to do the swap, maybe i'll try this summer. tell your mom is just more fun to drive
Well i figured out what i will tell her, i will tell her
1. Better MPG
2. Cheaper route
3. Longer lasting
4. My tranny already slips, and since it would be out to have it repaired why not just swap it.
5. Its my car, she told me when i first got it that i could either turn around and, part it out sell it or keep it. So i will say since i am keeping it, i would like a better transmission
6. Be a learning experiance swapping it.
7. Quoted from goosey "When you car is an automatic the car drives you, when its manual You drive the car"

tell her this: "When you car is an automatic the car drives you, when its manual You drive the car"
Then tell her that you'd like to take a slide down the money spending spiral that has NO end to it and you are thinking of takeing up street racing.
