I got a quote for $2000 to $3000 from a shop to switch to manual. Based on fuel economy .gov chart I would save $300 yr switching to a manual and $150 yr switching to a 4 speed auto driving 15,000 miles. So it would take me 6.66 years to get my money back. My car has 180K i dont know how much life I have left in the car.
I did chage the tranny fluid it was black. There is a little hesitation when i press on the throttle gently I dont know if its a fuel injection or air problem or transmission problem. But Ill probably just live with it. Do you think if I reduce my speed I could get just as good highway milage as the 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual, It seems like I could i would just have to go slower to get the same result. My vehicle curb weight is rated at 2398lbs before i removed the back seats. I plan on completely removing the ac unit.
