Subject:      Auto conversion to Manual?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

Thanks to all who responded on the question of reducing a Full Westy
to a Weekender (Multi Van). Out in left field question number two:
is it possible to install a Manual transmission in a van originally
set up for an Auto? Is there anything specific to the chassis that
would make this especially difficult? I know a lot of changes would
be needed - probably not worth the $$$.
I am asking because manual Multi Vans are in short supply. I will
probably simply go with an Auto, though prefer Manual. I understand
there are pros/cons for Auto/Manual - mostly I enjoy the interaction
with the vehicle - shifting can be fun!


Thanks,
