Re: hey guys im new
Hey there, welcome!
I'm only new myself, but I think this discussion has been run before and the general consensus is that you might as well buy a manual 1.4. Check the offers section, there's plenty of really tidy 1.4's going for silly money...

Re: hey guys im new
it can be done in 1 day, i did the conversion too.
what's different:
- gearbox + mounting brackets + mounting rubbers
- handbrake cable supports
- propshaft
- bellhousing
- complete clutch
- clutchcable
- clutchpedal
- flywheel
- gear selector
- gear selector support
- remove vacuumsystem for gearbox + clutch of the cvt and make sure this is leakfree
if you have a 340 all the mounting things to the body needed for conversion are present so no need for drilling holes etc.
