Default Wacko Question

Is it feasible to convert a 2011 GS from automatic to 6-spd. manual tranny?

Any discussion of this possibility would be helpful. Thanx!

Curious why you would want to do this.

Is it possible, yes. Would it be cost effective, most likely not. It requires a lot of component changes, like the torque tube, flywheel, adding clutch pedal and the other hardware.

If you are serious about doing this, post a thread in the "FI" and "C6 Parts 4 Sale" sections. Some big HP guys may want to swap a manual tranny for an auto.
