Epic to bosch conversion

[Shanedorey]

Hi guys has anyone converted an auto to a bosch manual pump? Can it be done. The mechanic im dealing with saysnhes heard its possible but has never done it himself. He thinks it doesn't kick down though and needs to be driven like a manual

On an auto a bosch conversion will...

Lose you 4th gear
Give incredibly harsh gear changes
lose kickdown

Yeah, you'll have to change to a manual g/box if you want a bosch pump

Thanks guys. I thought this was the case but worth the question

What about an earlier none electronic gearbox, and does changing pump loose power, thought you could get a mk4 none turbo automatic, are they not four speed, what about an ex mk3 granada gearbox A4LD
