Hi, folks -


I'm in the same boat as a couple of you...I've got a leaky auto
tranny in my 85 GL Westy, which also is getting wonky in the shift
from 2nd into 3rd. Expert advice here is to replace it, which is a
$1500 CDN proposition for a rebuilt one.


What I'm wondering is whether or not anyone on the List has swapped
their auto for a manual. I'd be partial to a manual, assuming that I
can get one installed for something less than what the auto would
cost me.


All wisdom and advice welcome.


Cheers,
