AT to MT

[mitsubishi_tan]

Who done this project before from Auto to manual, what is the cost and how different the power?

 

[stutzedward]

A few members has done this before. The cost is about RM5-6K. You'll gain about 40-50whp.

 

[steven_323f]

50whp is alot of improvement! It still remain 4wd drive right?

 

[stutzedward]

Yes, still remains as AWD. It's a lot of power gained. It has been dyno proven before. Same car with same hardware. Before and after transmission conversion, saw a jump of 50whp.

Anyway, I am not surprised. The original INVECS II is a lazy-box and final drive is really low. Just imagine, travelling at the speed of over 180kph, RPM is just 4K. With manual at that speed, we're expected to see around 5000rpm. With higher final drive for MT gearbox, you will gain much more acceleration and hp.

Coupe tht MT power loss is so much lesser than AT power loss.

Wow! the AT losses so much power....

yup... power eating autobox..

if u google around invec by mitsubishi is a good gearbox.its shift gear based on driver's driving style.tis gearbox is pair with a real evo engine...it stil make wonders.sprinting below 6sec is achievable.the gearbox can b fine tune to shift as fast dsg...

 

[stutzedward]

It's a robust gearbox, can't deny it. It was able to hit below 6 secs as the engine is pushing a lot harder. If the AT version can hit 100 below 6 secs, I am pretty sure with MT on the same engine, it will achieve below 5 secs.

wa...supercar

Sorry for off-topic but i'm really intrigued by the current 4x4(triton/dmax) gb's robustness.

it seems they're can sustain more torque/hp than petrol's autobox. Can someone enlighten me about that?

 

[stutzedward]

No idea abt Triton gb robustness tho.

 

[steven_323f]

I will consider about AT to MT, maybe it put in the end of project.

 

[stutzedward]

The difference is obvious from what I heard from the owners after conversion. Feels like a new different car completely. For me, I will have to wait. I hate traffic jams and clutches if u know what i mean.

 

[steven_323f]

I love manual, 3 pedal are awesome. But i need to get wife approve ah bor then.......

 

[kaninbu]

bottom line is a nice upgrade with sustantial hp and u nonit to worry bout atf fluid anymore....real man uses 3 pedals

But if wife also do drive that car, then normally cannot....hahaha

 

[stutzedward]

Real man drives sticks, can't agree more. But when it comes to traffic jam for hours + heavy clutch, I'd rather sacrify a bit of performance and fun for more practical usage. But if my gb fails one day, I will most likely go manual though.

Agree, if 1day gb died for sure will go manual, i already got another car for wife daily use.
