Tee from China Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 [I]OK, can anyone answer the following?:-[/i] Which would make more sense? converting a TT auto to manual or an SZ-R NA 6 speed to TT? the cost that Jezz quotes for a TT engine swap is £3000 (plus clutch) and an auto to manual is also £3000! Taking into account that as both would need clutches and diff ratio changes as the NA clutch is smaller and an auto doesn't have one and both diff ratios are too low, so which would be the best way to jump? An SZ-R converted to a TT would raise the insurance premium just as converting an auto to manual TT - but which would warrant/get the higher premium?

ECK Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 id have to say on cost it would be the N/A-TT, you would save a few quid on the car cost and then the 3K for the TT lump so id prob bump for that option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Clutches and Diffs are supplied to match the spec on both those conversions mate. TT 6 speed conversions get a 6 speed TT LSD and clutch, and TT Auto conversions get a TT auto diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would go with a TT to start with that way when you sell it on it will hold its price better as a NA/TT is always going to be an NA with a differnt engine so will be harder to sell and insurance will be higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee from China Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Clutches and Diffs are supplied to match the spec on both those conversions mate. TT 6 speed conversions get a 6 speed TT LSD and clutch, and TT Auto conversions get a TT auto diff. Sorry Jezz! Thought it was just an engine or box change as your post did state '£3000 plus clutch on manuals' so I assumed this was extra and no mention of diff change. seems like excellent value either way!
