Yeah I've seen it done. Its just a matter of finding a donor vehicle with a 5 speed. Other than that, its somewhat a bolt on operation.

I love "Is this possible" threads. My first and favorite answer is absolutley not. It will never happen. lol

Yeah its possible, just more of a challenge with such a new vehicle. I belive some of the computers in there are auto/manual specific so you will need new ones or trick them into thinking other wise.

Its possible, And it has been done plenty..

IIRC, All you would have to do is jump the nuetral start switch ? I think..
Check out TTORA and search some stuff over there youll probably find some info..

Other then the switch jump, Like SC said its mainly a bolt on affair..

As has been said before, yes it is possible.

I also changed your thread title to something less ambiguous - if you'd like it called something else just post up and I'll change it.
It really helps people when they go through searching to have a more descriptive title.

Thanks and good luck!

Usually a 5 speed using the auto's ecu isn't a problem since you're selecting the gears. It's usually about having the computer to control your shifts with the auto of you're going the other way. I can't speak for this exact application.
