Gear shift auto to manual

Post by sideshowbob »

Car is presently auto. In the process of planning to change to manual.

Have sourced 5 speed gearbox, flywheel , shift mechanism and all other bits and bob

Am now looking for a gearshift gaiter in grey leather.

My question is, when the auto gearshift surround is removed, is the aperture in the centre console
the same as a manual and will it therefore take the manual gaiter and frame.

In other words are they a direct swap ?
