Does anyone know a rough estimate on what it's cost to make a CVT a manual?

I really didn't want an automatic car but decided it'd be ok since it is a CVT and doesn't shift. But I'd always rather have a manual. I figured if the cost isn't too bad I might convert.

superskunk is planning this, i think he said it would be under $1000

did you join that other forum??

I think you're better off getting a beater that's a manual for under 1k. Fiscally makes more sense, but it's your money. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

don't CVT's perform better and get better MPG then the 6spd? Why would you want to convert?

I'm a manual kind of person just got a CVT cause it was the only Versa they had left (which is why it's also black).

Just wanting to see what my options are. Typically I think that the CVT gets better mpg. I'm not sure about performance either.

If I keep the CVT I'd really like to get a supercharger made.

i thought about it also i want 6 speeds and boost that all i want


boost
and
6 speeds

all i want lol

I'm not that interested in a Turbokit because of the fact that I have an automatic because Turbos don't give constant power like superchargers do. Since I don't have any shifting in between I think it would be weird to have the Turbo. Although people want a turbo doesn't seem like a good lasting one will
be made soon so I couldn't imagine how many would want a supercharger besides me lol

The CVT isn't going to hold up well against any power 6SPD is the way to go. 4AT may or may not shred itself with too much torque.

Why wouldn't the CVT hold up well? Is it because it is sort of a newish technology and hasn't really been made to handle harsh conditions that a turbo/supercharger would bring?

I was told that the CVT won't hold over 140Nm. A power adder is going to go beyond that.

I guess that I need to switch to manual trans than lol

cvt gets better gas mileage but i think adding power to it would shred it to pieces like a 700 hp car with a stock auto tranny. i dont fully understand CVT tho... for racing the 6spd is always my first choice. and you get better control over whats happening

Moved this thread to engine forum because transmission is part of the engine.

 

[robj80]

I would say it is connected to but not part of it . If I could put a cvt in my car I would.

Hmm maybe I'll just stick to suspention and appearance rather than power.

If you want faster, take out the interior. it's probably 200lbs of stuff inside.

suspension is always fun. apparently versa's have some of the greatest cornering there is with a little amount of work. everyone that has messed with their suspension has loved the results
