Any companies out there doing a manual to auto box conversion on the Mk8 yet?

Forget it, too complicated and most probably too costly, wait till ford launches the suto box and upgrade.

The power shift is out and has been a while.... may be some demos or used out there.

I wish I'd hung on for 6 months for one. I really want the auto too.

Many thanks for both your replies. It is not actually for me. A good friend who lives in France bought one last May with the Chausson camper conversion on. It is a cracking camper, but he realises he should have an auto. I thought it may be cheaper to get it converted than buy new and lose mega money on the purchase.

There are companies that do auto clutch conversions for mobility vehicles and motor homes.

Thanks for the reply moley551. I think my friend has made his mind up now to buy a new camper. The same vehicle with auto but a permenant bed in the back. Such a shame as it is a beautifil camper and only done 7000 kilometres
