    It's going to be cheaper to sell the car and buy one with a Getrag.



    By a LOT!

    Why would you want to do that? The Aisin six speed is a better transmission.

    Remember...
    Tranny's are so integrated.... You need computer parts reprogrammed too..sell the car... Even if it needs to be fixed...and buy a 6 speed...

    I believe Way at Way Motor Works has done this before. I know it wasn't inexpensive. There were some programming issues that took a bit to sorted out I think. I may be wrong. I'd contact Way.

    Things have been so busy. Taken me a while to get back to this. I do love my Auto but I miss the fun driving a manual. Aisin is a headache and a half as well. Had the tranny replaced about 15k ago, luckily my extended warranty covered it.
