L.Bond Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAE71 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 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.

LukeAE71 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yes I am in Adelaide. I can probably help you locate all the parts through a mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.Bond Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 You are crazy. Sell the one you have and buy one that's already manual. You my even make a profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
