    Automanual Transmission

    How difficult would it be to convert from a Automatic to an Automanual? Has anyone done it, and honestly is it worth it? I'm considering this, once I finish doing modding the car, which includes the SC from Ripp.

    To go from and auto to and tiptronic is just a waste of money.. NO real purpose in it, becuase the motor still control when it shifts, not the same as a manual tranny at all.. I would never do it, thats why i just went straight to manual.

    There's no real point. It's really just a fancy looking auto. You can accomplish the same thing in your car by shifting manually.

    unless the tip tranny he is speaking of is a five speed tip. then it would help as you would have more helpful gearing for your car, but i agree and would say to go with a five speed/ much more fun too
