Auto to Manual Trans

Those of you who bought an '01 or '02 CL-S.... since you bought the car probably wanting a MT wouldn't it be nice if ACURA offered a conversion...as a sort of appreciation for new model sales. By this I mean one that they would perform..had a warranty... And wouldn't cost more than say 3 grand. Just an Idea! And besides if we all sent back our AT's maybe they could examine them and get it right on the '04's. This would be an option for those of us who really don't want to trade our cars in and invoke a depreciation factor and not to mention the cost of stripping our mods and having them re-installed..

What makes you think most wanted a MT ? Maximas have been available with MT, and amount to 5% of sales.

F*ck the $4435 CT SC, if possible I'd spend it converting to the manual.

Dream on... But what a dream it would be... I've also heard that technically such a conversion would be difficult (and thus expensive). Anyone with technical knowledge about feasibility/expense of such a conversion??

Ah a dream.... I've decided MM1 and MM2 are as far as I am going with my CL-S, now onto my next car a Z07 Corvette....assuming the Z06 isn't still around by the time I can actually afford one Hmmn.... maybe it'll have 500hp by then, you never know.
