The EL started out as an auto but it cracked the sads and died at 250,000k. I got a manual conversion for it for about the same price as an auto rebuild was going to cost.

Auto all the way! Stock auto is ~345,000kms old, and currently has a shift kit & a hi-stall. Will fit a large trans cooler soon to replace the stocker. Just gotta figure out where exactly to fit it, since it's 420x175x20mm

Started Auto, then put in another auto, then put in a manual. Depending on how i like it it could either stay manual or even go back to auto. Only time will tell ;)
