Manual conversion for an 80

Post by turoa »

Hi all, I'm currently looking into converting my 80 from a manual to an auto as its an around town truck most of the time. Is there anyone that would be interested in purchasing a manual conversion? Still in truck so can be test driven etc

Would it be worth converting my truck? 8 seater, worked engine, twin lockers etc. Have looked into it and from what I can tell driveshafts, gearbox x member mounts, pedals and top of trans tunnel (which can be modified) are the differences (for a fully hydraulic a442f anyway)

The A440f is arguably the worst auto ever made bar none!!!! To go from the unfailing manual trans to this auto will be the one of the worst mistakes you'll make!

I would never go back to auto, it was shocking as auto. round town I you only use a couple of gears, 1 to get moving then leave it in 3rd or 4th
