mantadoc Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 If converting to 5 speed manual pretty much the same process as described many timeson this site for converting the old CIH engine to manual. Use search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi Nick C, think the thread on converting to manual is in the 'how to' section which is Manta Club members only. You do face one big problem, getting an 1800 gearbox, as these are highly sort after for conversions involving all types of Vauxhall engines people are paying silly money for them. You could buy a complete Cam-in-head engine and gearbox for less than half the price being asked for an 1800 gearbox. (and before you ask,sorry i dont have an 1800 gearbox in my pile of parts,wish i did have a few,i'd become rich quick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few out here in basic with all the info, no nice pics like in the Member bit, but enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
