Corona Manual Conversion!

[L.Bond]

Hey guys!

As the title suggests I'm looking to convert my 1985 st141 Corona wagon to manual trans.

Any one have any ideas of what kind of pricing I'm looking at and how hard the work is?

Let me know!

Cheers guys, Leighton

Pricing depends on what you can get the parts for.

 

All up probably looking at $300 for the parts then whatever the labour cost is on top of that. I have a lot of the parts required for this swap if you want to pm me about it.

 

Labour is probably 5 hours at whatever a workshop charges or less if you can get a private person to do it. I would consider doing it for you if you wanted.

where you from? i got a manual corona the same as yours. Help yourself to whatever you need and can borrow our hoist if you want.

Luke you're in Adelaide aren't you? You took a look at my Corona when it was up for sale! I'm in Adelaide mate!

[LukeAE71]

Yes I am in Adelaide. I can probably help you locate all the parts through a mate.

Just out of interest, how did this go for you mate? Got an ST141 (sedan) myself.. was thinking about doing the same thing..

Well at the moment I'm split between selling and converting. I'm further looking into getting the parts now, and see how much it would cost. Ill see how the two wight up and go from there

You are crazy.

 

Sell the one you have and buy one that's already manual.

 

You my even make a profit.

[L.Bond]

Yeah I'm thinking about selling and getting a manny ke70! If it really comes to it, i could sell and go back to corona's!

Once you've had black, there's no going back!
