i think its physically a straight swap,although youd have to add the hydraulics for the clutch,my 325 touring was an auto originally but had been changed to manual before i bought it.good luck.

My understanding would be that I need

Pedal box
Master cylinder
Servo
Clutch assembly
Gearbox
Trim

Any complications with electrics???

i don't think so, just a case of swapping ECU's i've been told it is literally and bolt in and out conversion.

325 auto's a nice cruiser imo. I like my one anyway

diff. preferable, but not essential
Short wiring loom to reverse light switch.
Clutch resevoir, and bracket to mount it on.

No need to change servo

Does the ECU need changing? If so why?
