Default Replacing Auto Tran with Manual?
Hi,
I've been looking into getting a C3, but most Corvettes seem to be Automatic.. At least the ones in my price range haha.
I was wondering how hard would it be to turn an Auto into a Manual?
Is this something that's going to cost more then the car itself aka not practical?
Just wanted to get an idea. I figure it's not worth it, but I'm having a hard time finding a reasonably priced C3 that's manual

Zap welcome to the forum. Learn to use the search function. This subject has been beat almost as much as 160 degree thermostats. Consensus is if you want stick, buy stick. It's cheaper.
