SMG to 6MT Conversion - Shop Recommendations in CO, TX, AZ, UT
SMG to 6MT Conversion - Shop Recommendations in CO, TX, AZ, UT
The time has finally come to convert SMG to 6MT - I'm located in CO but happy to get the car to a shop that has experience with the conversion in CO, TX, AZ, UT, etc (maybe CA as well).
DIY its really not that hard 👍 i did a few 5 and 6 speed non m3 swap and pretty similar on m3, you can have a shop mod the bellhousing or even install it to your smg trans and diy install. Once done have another shop code it or i think a few members here offer remote coding.

Unfortunately DIY is not a viable option at this point given time and ability constraints but appreciate the feedback anyways. Thanks!
Update: I had the car shipped to kaiv and had a fantastic experience from start to finish.
Initially I planned to just have the car converted to 6MT, however, after seeing the quality of his work (because he documents everything and shares photos as he goes!), his attention to detail, and reading about his outstanding knowledge of the platform, I had him knock out all of the big 3. I flew out to San Diego and drove the car home 1,100 miles without a hiccup - car has never run better!
If you're looking for somebody who knows these cars top to bottom - reach out to kaiv. He's a genuinely nice and honest guy that has incredible knowledge of these cars - thanks again!
