yes it would be a bitch. either buy a manual or buy an auto. or buy both and choose. dont you think it would be dumb to have a manual car mon, tues, weds and then switch it up to auto thurs, and friday? seriously think about it. its a waste of time

You won't be able to do it. You have to cut the car up to install the shift linkage. So you won't be able to put the shift linkage for them auto back in. Just pick auto or manual.

I wouldn't say that. Just remember, automatic transmission are more costly to repair than a manual. And the person buying the car, (if it's some high school kid) would want it to be a stick.

This will be your hardest part to going back to auto. Everything else will be cake. But youll have to make a new mounting bracket for the cables.

I never understood why people even go thru the trouble.

Manual Auto can suck a fart out of my ***.
