ive had a auto cortina which i changed to a 5 speed celica. it was pretty good, then fifth gear was good.
I have a xd v8 now and am thinking of going to manual. all and all if you have a good auto i reckon they can be fun to drive but if you want the fifth gear for the highway then go manual. then you can change your diff ratio and get better take off... |

I have done a lot of 4 speed one but never a 5 speed. though I think it would be a pice of piss like the 4 speed.

Go for it!
I used to drive an XF auto every day, and now I drive an XE auto a bit, but that is not mine so I can't convert it ( just looking after it) and I can tell you that Dad's 2.1 litre manual Volvo 245 would accellerate better and was HEAPS more fun to drive than a bloody automatic slushbox XF. The motor may have been twice as big, but man they are slugs!!! Stick a manual in tehm and tehy just wake up like nothing else! Do it!!!
