ok, me and my brother have gotten into possesion a pair of mkIII turbo in near perfect conditions. a red 88 or 89 (we are not sure) and a white 90/91 (not sure again) the red one is manual and the white one is automatic,,, but it has targa tops...... we both hate automatics and we both love targas so we are in a dispute as of who's going to take what car..... So, I was wondering if anyone knows about transmisions and about swaping an automatic for a manual.
my dad keeps telling us that it is much more trouble than we ca handle ( he argues that we have to replace the car computer, the tranny (of course) the drive shaft, the rear axle, and bore holes in the body of the car for all the extra stuff.
my uncle says it is just a matter of taking the tranny out and bolting the manual unit with all of its contraptions.

so if you know please drop a line in this forum

thanks in advance!!!

P.S. does anyone have a set of tires? mine are all slick (just kidding)
