Is it a big job to convert a 325 auto to a manual?

would be cheaper to find a manual one unless your car is in 100% condition body work wise

bigish job and not for the faint hearted or weak limbed a guy on here, spadge was offering to do it for a very reasonable price recently. Oh you will need a manual prop which I happen to have for sale at £35 pm me if required.

it is not that difficult but make sure you have all the bits pedal box/clutch cylinders/reservoir/pipes/flywheel gear box with a new clutch spigot bearing/plate i believe the prop is different in length gearbox mount and bushes
make sure you have all the details to rewire the auto box inhibitor switch (under the dash yellow and black wires) get it all before you start
should cost £150 for the boxprop/bits and up to £100 for the clutch plate ...the centre console should be ok unless you had the switchable auto box good luck will be worth it when its done
