i'm use to driving a manual car...and i bought my type-S on the fly..it has everything i want however its an automatic....dum dum dummmmmmm....is it worth trying to do a swap on the transmission to a 6speed...???

probably not ... since u bought the car used, trade it in for another used MANUAL version ... if u had bought the car new, then its worth considering as u will know the entire maintenance history as well as condition of the car ... just my opinion

My answer is this:
If you really want a 6 speed and can do the conversion without disabling the car for a protracted period of time, realize the conversion will cost you some potentially significant money, and you won't get that money back in resale (as cars will depreciate no matter what), then go ahead. I would recommend the conversion if the AT was traditionally unreliable (in significant numbers), which it's not.

Realistically, you have a nice car with an automatic. Enjoy it and drive on.

nah, i would keep it as it is, or trade it in for a manual version. It costs too much time and money to swap....eventually it's not worth it!!

No-it's not worth it. That's a lot of work for a manual transmission.

Many offer the automatic type S for the manual version in a heart beat. All you have to do is give the heads up to your local dealerships and I am sure they would keep there eyes peeled. They always want an automatic because it gets them more money
