Sell the vehicle as it is and get a manual transmission instead. I wouldn't recommend going through the process of the conversion from auto to manual.

Do you have experience in this, what made you say so?

That conversion will drill more hole in your pocket than you think. Discard that vehicle if you are tired

Seahorse dextron 3

Naija and seahorse.....that atf just took over from abro big time

I'm guessing u didn't drain and replace regularly

It even tried sef...a whole 2years

Buy anoda trans,u cld use Mobil atf instead of seahorse.but then u need to drain and refill constantly cos dat might not be the recommended oil for ur cos I don't know the year.....but,

NOTE: Attention 1992-1997 Vw owners with 4 speed automatic transmissions. Although most Bentley manuals refer to a Dexron AFT, it seems that certain factory fiche vehicle part breakdowns began to indicate changes in fluid recommendation with vehicles manufactured in/around July 1995. The newer recommendation was for Vw automatic transmission fluid meeting the improved Audi Vw specification TL52162 (Audi Vw part number G 052 162 A2).

You are very uncouth... Unintelligent....Rude with probably a very crass upbringing.. you should know that transmission swapping is done daily and it's even easier converting from auto transmission to a manual transmission than vice versa... But then you will still choose to be what you are...

Read more about it in here.... Then you can visit where vw parts are sold to get the transmission as well as the person who will fix it... There and then.. your auto transmission may even be swapped out for the manual for free..So you only pay for services

morronic son of a bimbo. Your brain processed only the word its accustomed to. I blame your father whose role of fatherhood stopped at being a sperm donor! If only the useless drunk had pulled out we would have been saved yet another wasted entity.

Most of the time it's preferable you allow the parts sellers give you their mechanic to do the job... They handle it and you don't pay a farthing until the job is done and dusted..Tested satisfactory.... You can supervise if you like

Excellent option if you have to do it at all.. although, it is advisable to stay away like sacramento1212 said.

I have done​ it severally. It's no big deal. A lot of W202 cars are imported as manual transmission and converted at apapa to Auto.... Downgrading back to manual ain't a big deal. Any random Kazeem can do justice..... Not these shakara GPS location kazeems.

I did exactly this, they took my bad gear, starter and all and gave me everything required for the convertion, and involved a mechanic that fixed it. It set me back about 24k.
