On the low end it seems as though manual Aletzza's from NZ cost about $8k, + shipping which is aroind $2500-$3000, and total costs really start to add up. Certainly not cheaper, at least in my estimation.

Oh of course, I never though of that. I mean, I just really miss having a manual, and honestly this could be construed as hardcore rationalising, but it could be an investment of sorts. Manual IS200s are harder and harder to come by, and getting more expensive. I think the conversion would create value, but it all depends on what the final costs end up at

So, this topic has been brought up a few times on this forum, but its intricacies seem to be rarely discussed. I'm doing my preliminary research into a manual swap on my 05 IS200, and I'm putting together a parts list to try and pull this off, because manual IS200s are getting ridiculously expensive out here in Oz, but I would be delighted to get it done. Here's what I think I'll need: Manual Trans Manual Shifter Clutch (Single Mass Flywheel) Trans Mounting Tail Shaft Clutch Line Clutch Slave Master Cylinder ECU Manual Wiring Loom Manual Pedal Box Shifter Surround Manual Cluster What am I missing?? Of course the associated spigot bearings etc I'll need to get. Am I crazy, or is this achievable? I don't know how to do the labour, I know I would mess it up, so I'd accumulate all the parts and head to a good mechanic. Basically, is this stupid?
