*TURNED MY Z9 PEUGEOT 607 PHASE II V6 TO A MANIAC - SUCCESSFUL CONVERSION OF AM6 AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION.*

The project of the new born maniac started on 08/01/2019 and ended on 30/05/2020 (17 months). A tough excited project, considering every part of the vehicle system was designed to work only with Automatic transmission (AM6), which probably could be why no one seem to have done this Conversion except me.

I originally set out to convert with 6-speed Manual gearbox, but decided to go for 5-speed Manual, since my excitement couldn't keep me waiting for 6-speed Manual box that was taking too long to locate. However, I needed to do the conversion to work with both 5-speed & 6-speed Stick-shift, Incase the 6-speed turns up in future. For that, I had to study or researched on parts for such conversion to be a reality. My findings led to parts from 3 different Peugeot models to make it happen. A tough challenge and excited too.

Almost everyone I told about the project said the project will destroy the car. Only Siena Gbuje in United Kingdom was excited when I told him about the project, in one of our discussions. I never listened or gave a rip about public opinion anyway. If I wanted something that has nothing to do with anyone else, it's done. It's a question of when.

30/05/2020 was the day I cranked the engine and it roared into life with Stick-shift box for the first time. The drive that followed after was unforgettable. The car now move like a different car: less weight, quicker, less fuel consumption and most importantly, *PREDICTABLE* , just like my other Stick-shift V6 lions. Words cannot describe the fun part of the drive. I get to now play with the pedals, while I watch the 3.0i ES9A 290 Nm torque surge the car forward like a maniac he has become. Thanks to the brand new Valeo clutch kit and Total Manual Transmission Fluid Gear 8 75w-80.

Even with the complex electrical system of the car, wired to work only with Automatic Gearbox, I did the Electrical part of the conversion so well that the car now work as if it originally had manual transmission from new. No warning sign on the instrument panel. The ABS, ESP, Variable steering, variable suspension, engine cooling fan, instrument panel, Multifunction display, etc, everything works the same way before the conversion took place the previous week (yet to make out time to reconnect the parking Aid though).

I now have the perfect Z9 V6, exactly how I wanted it from the beginning. The AM6 6-speed Automatic Gearbox was still running like new at 77,000 km mileage before I removed it, but wasn't part of my dream Z9 V6. As new and good as the transmission is, it's not for Lion King - Monk. It denied me self Expression Behind the Wheel I couldn't ignore or live with.

What about the original intention of 6-speed Stick-shift box? Few days of driving the lion with the 5-speed Stick-shift has been so exciting that I no longer care if I see or don't see the 6-speed box. Besides, I have other lions with more power and 6-speed Stick-shift I will be adding to join my current fun lions.

I can't wait to conclude other projects on my other lions as well. So many good things in this physical life for men to choose and enjoy. I mean, if you find life so boring or uninteresting, get rid of your car and get a fun one, for you can only find yourself in that frequency/condition when you surround yourself with boring things. Just yesterday, I took the new maniac for another drive, applied some skills on the pedals and gear lever and found myself screaming *YEEHAW!* I drove back home and closed the celebration with a bottle of 1759. I mean, I beat my chest, pointed to the car and said *I DID THAT!* (boastfully). One of the best part of masculinity which I am proud of.

Ikenna351, you meant to tell us that the auto gear of your 607 (which is problematic according to findings) have been converted to manual transmission (which is less problematic or better)?

Congratulations though! It seems like an uphill task but you did it!

Manual tranny cheaper to maintain, less problematic, more effective, more efficient and more fuel economical..IMO

Auto tranny is problematic to users who cut corners when it's time to replace the automatic transmission fluid... The original is expensive so they usually end up putting fake fluid and the pojo will show them fire!!!

The day I lost respect for you was when I saw Kazeem replacing your 505 brake pads in akpo abuja .

You are a textbook mechanic and scanner mechanic , but not hands on. Roadside mechanics do all the work for you.

What you did there has been done hundreds of time here in Kaduna by road side mechanics. All you need are Peugeot 406 parts.

607 has the most unreliable transmission known to mankind, and it frustrated you too.

Enjoy your 5 seconds of fame, and share the glory with the guys that did the actual work.

This is not nice at all. You sound like you have scores to settle with him. We don't care who else has done it, neither do we care where they did it. He's achieved his goal and successfully too and he's therefore entitled to celebrate. Maybe you should create a thread on the Kaduna boys so those in Kaduna and perhaps even Abuja, that need their services can reach out to them. Stop hating, it's detrimental to your health
