automatic swap to manual?




ThisIsMyNa


I have a 1999 Mazda 626 EX v6 that is automatic. I don't know much about cars but I was wondering if I swap the transmission to manual, how much would it roughly cost? I'm not too worried about what shop would swap it because I can find someone who can do it for me. I bought it for $3000 USD


Answer
Well, this is a luxury car from Mazda and this was the fist year model. Actually assembled in the USA. But it never came with a manual transmission as an option. I am not sure why you need a manual transmission but the question here is what manual transmission are you thinking to have installed? This is an older car and the expense is not going to make much sense not matter is the labor is free or low cost. This is not a performance vehicle being a four door sedan with a V-6 that does not put out too many horses. In fact one of the best characteristics of this car is its fuel economy. But, hey, it is your money and your car. I would have thought that if you were looking for a manual transmission vehicle that you would have purchased a car with a manual transmission. What you are looking for is information on parts and you need to address this question to a car specialist that sells car parts. Best of luck.

What cars have an auto-manual transmission?

I would like to know what cars have an auto-manual transmission in it. I would like to try to stick with American cars, but might think about European, NO asian crap. And would like to be able to find one for under $10,000. I know the Pontiac G6 is one, and I like that car, but what other cars have them?


Answer
Rolf @ Connor. Toyota had the biggest re-call in the history re-calling 100% of their cars. They now have a 40% re-call rate which is the highest amongst all car companies. They also lied to the American Government. Innocent people died in Toyotas, because of a screw up they made. What's so reliable about that? They released the 2011 models and they are re-calling them too. Ford released 2011 models and no re-calls.

Anyways unfortunately very few affordable cars have auto-manual transmissions. A lot of Germans cars do have them though like Mercedes-Benz,BMW, Audi. However I doubt you'll find a German luxury with auto-manual transmission for $10,000. The problem is luxury car companies released it first, and luxury cars cost a lot. A 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-class costs more than $10,000. Affordable car companies recently started putting auto-manual transmission(like in 2009 or 2010)...so if Pontiac G6 has one, I would say go for it. Pontiac is a nice car. I can't think of any other American car that has one. Although look at Cadillac and Lincoln, they might have it. They are cheaper than German luxury cars too.

Sorry if I wasn't any help. Good luck!
