If you have all the parts and you took it to a professional mechanic you would need to allow for a day's labour. But i would get a quote/price for the job first. I would guess circa £400 and don't forget VAT.

Personally, I would not pay that kinda money. I would probably look at selling the car and buying one with the manual box already. Unless of course you car is special.

I just did my own conversion so the labour was kinda free!
Even so, I forked out circa £450 for parts and tools etc. It's a ton for a new clutch.

wouldn't I be able to switch all of the parts from the manual car to the auto like the clutch, etc? thats what I was thinking if anyone on here would do it but I don't know how much to pay?

Sorry, didn't see that bit. You'll save a load of dough on parts if you already have the donor and the clutch is worth using. If you require someone to remove the donor parts first as well as fit them then obviously the labour charges will be much higher.

If you can get a fellow zoner to help you then that sounds like the best course of action. Birmingham is a bit out of my way otherwise I'd have probably helped you.

No worries though. There'll be some willing soul on here close to you, I'm sure.
