G'Day Patrol Gurus.

I have a question for you.

I'm not completely lost when working on engines or mechanical gizmos. But Gear boxes tend to throw me a bit.

My question is. Is it possible to go from an Auto gear box to a Manual gear box and not cost the price of a small car or country? The vehicle I have is an '98 GU 4.5 ltr Auto.

Any help would be great.

Not sure but one thing in your favour is all the parts and probably bolt holes are all there, maybe the ECU may create some issues
my freind converted his fathers Patrol, don't think there were any major dramas. check the search engine, for previous threads??
