As above really, is this a difficult job? not that I would be doing it, so I guess, would it be expensive? also aimed at our in house mechanics..... :) :)
-
there are mechanical+electrical jobs that must be done properly.. and the auto tranny is damn heavy..
propeller shafts are also different length .. if every part is under hand will take a whole day or more for a mechanic.. so wont be cheap imo..
also you will need electric schemas for cruise switch.. and mid must be re-programmed..
and definitely worth all that hassle :y

Quite a big job yes,and why would you want to ? probably lose at least 10-15% on fuel economy. ;)
If you want it done it might be worth PMing Serek as he has done a few iirc (although more likely the other way round,but ame principles & methods etc). ;)

Because swmbo, and me tbh, will now only run an auto as an everyday car, and there is a rather nice heavy oil Mig estate for sale, but it is manual........ :-X

loosing on fuel economy depends on driver.. after the conversion I loose %100 as I hammer it all the way ;D

Putting a used slushbox into that car is borderline criminal :-\

Its often been said on here that the diesel omega engine and autobox is a horrible combination. ::)

So why is the Rover 75 2.5TD Auto a popular car, same engine and gearbox? a car I have pondered about..... :) :)

No idea,as Ive never driven either. :-\

So on what basis did you make your original comment, hearsay? ............ :)

and definitely worth all that hassle :y

Because they dont exist and hence everybody wants one, the 75 uses the four pot 2.0.
The straight six would never fit in a wrong wheel drive car of that era.

I think Seth is looking at that one too :y

its quite possible to do - just the reverse of an autoectomy with a bit more wiring.
I'll even save the parts for you next time I do one if you'd like. Actually I've got one to do next week.
the BMW diesel isn't exactly a nice engine and its a bit overmatched to the standard Omega auto, so you'd need to buy a manual diesel, a gearbox from an auto diesel and a gearbox from an auto 3.0 or 3.2. BMW auto engine and gearbox ecu needed too.
