Converting a vehicle post-SHTF

[Smokin04]

I should have used the quote function Pauls as I was answering the original post (all the way back to #1) which was trying to convert something to the specs I listed. My response was simply asking if buying one already designed that way would be easier than making mods to something that was not. No conditions were mentioned by the OP.

In a word...yes. Much easier to buy a car with all the mechanical stuff in place already. 99% of the time it will be far cheaper to do that than mod a newer vehicle to work like the older one.

For me, a manual transmission would not last long. I tend to wear clutches very fast. I don't ride the clutch in cars with manual transmissions but I shift a lot and I go through a clutch in under a year usually. Down-shifting instead of using the brakes is probably where I wear them the most.

So...A) it's not the trans that isn't lasting long, it's the clutch. and B) you admit that it's YOUR driving habits that kill it, not a weak transmission. The fact that you choose to use the $2-4K trans/clutch to slow down instead of the $1-300 brakes (which is their sole job) is your own fault. I've always had manuals in my fast cars. I don't want to hear that an auto is stronger than a manual either because it's just not a true statement.

Check balls, controlled orifices... Why don't you two get a room?

Because I wouldn't care to know that you're behind the one way mirror jerking it while you watch...You're a sick man Mike.

Another squandered opportunity... I was going to make a video and post it on the inter-tubes and make millions. I was going to call it: "Celebrity Tranny".
