I've been thinking about finding a Manual legend parts car and attempting this for quite some time- and making a thread about it. Initially i thought i would the first to do it until i came upon this...



Please keep negative comments to yourself and respect the owners ride

 

I saw this a few weeks ago, it is actually what inspired me to keep my RL after insurance totalled it. One of my few complaints is i wish my RL was a little faster, this seemed like a pretty cool solution. his idea to trick the transmission by shifting into "1" was somethig i had wondered about, as i dont want to lose VSA in my car.

 

WOW. I thought about doing this back in 2008, but I was thinking I had to get a standalone ecu and do a ton of magic to get it to work. Nice to see somebody has done it! Maybe i'll look into it if the tranny takes a dump. Great find!!

 

I would love to get this done, but I'm afraid is going to cost a fortune. A manual RL mus be hella fun

 

I really dont think that it should be that big of a headache-other than making that shifter sit a little better and maybe using a resistor instead of the wire method to trick the car that its always in D1

 

it would be fun im just wondering how the elbow would feel after shifting form that high armrest- nothing a shifter extender couldnt fix

 

Eric find 2 setups so we can get er done. Maybe it will work out if my supercharger plans ever pan out.

 

haha, it's kinda hard now. I sold my 04 RL as well so there goes that!

 

saw this a while back. great work. so many opinions on how it should/could be done, but to see it actually done is great. stuff like this will pave way for people to push the ka9 limits

 

I am doing that now moding the KA9 and seeing what is possible and what is not
