Why would you bother, just sell the auto and buy a manual one. Lot less hassle

He may well have a stuffed auto and a manual conversion is cheaper than a recon auto.
Its an easy conversion, everything is just a simple bolt in. Will just need to tell the ecu that is manaul

Does this take into account the loss in value due to having been hashed about!

wtf are you on about! you unbolt auto parts and bolt in manual parts, would make it worth more being manual

If a proper job is done it won't be "hashed about". I've thought it would be a good conversion to do on a Golf stationwagon.

The situation is this,i have seen a car that has a shagged auto,its rego on hold. The idea is to make a clubcar out of it,so it will be converted,not a hash job,but then will surely be thrashed,the car is very cheap to buy. Has anyone actually done this job ! My query is around the flywheel and ecu areas. I was on a usa forum before and they advise against doing it on labour costs,i can do it all myself,so no labour costs to worry about.

quattro sounds like he is on the money, the ecu was my concern which he has covered off. I would suggest checking the VW forum's as someone may have even done a guide on this, you never know.
Best of luck, the manual transmission is a lovely unit in those with a nice feel to it.

Snap, you posted this while I was writing. Sounds like you have already checked the forums. The VW Place (Platinum something!) in Rotorua if its still going might be worth a call, that's the sort of outfit that has bound to have done one and may be happy to supply parts and advice.

You will want a single mass flywheel and vr6 clutch kit, also if its going to be a club car put an lsd in it. for the ecu its just a matter of plugging in vcds and changing it to manual code

Does the mk4 manual have a dual mass flywheel or single !
00quattro00,

Not exactly, but have stripped a few to use in mk2's, currently fitting a 1.8t into my mk2 jetta, I could do the conversion for you seeing as you are not too far away

most run a dualmass flywheel so you will need to buy a solid mass from uk or there likes
