ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    My CB7 IS AUTOMATIC is it a waste of time?

    My car was given to me as incentive to get my licence years ago... I love the car it drives great but i want a little more umphh if you catch my drift lol. Is it a waste of time and money to hook it up of should i look for a 5 speed? Some one told me to do transmission swap? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    My cb7 is an auto and I "personally" have a love/hate relationship with it. I mean it is what you prefer to drive honestly. Depends on your plans. What are you going to do with this car? If your a manual kind of guy then i would say get an auto to manual swap or search for a manual cb.

              Are you doing the work yourself?

                Take a look at the "sticky" threads in the Swaps section. You will see detailed information on the auto to manual swap.

                You'll be using used parts, so the price depends on how good the deals you find are. $500 is what people usually estimate for the swap. it could be more or less, depending on what you buy, and how much extra you do in the process (lots of things involved SHOULD be replaced as you go...)

                  Sell it, people are looking for cheap fuel efficient rides now

                  Get a manual CB, you will L-O-V-E it.

                    It depends on how strongly attached to that particular car you are. I've had 2 CBs, and my original one has always meant more to me than the second one did (though I liked that one.) The second one never really felt like MINE. If your current car means something to you, then swapping is a good idea. If it's just a car, no different from any other car in your eyes, then selling and buying a manual would probably be the easier option.

                        I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who is happy to have an automatic lol. Nothing wrong with manuals though.
