I've recently bought a heated up TG Gemini thats a 5 speed manual... just wondering if anybody knows whether its easy to convert to auto transmission... would anyone have an approx. cost to do this? thanks,

Tim

man i have my autos too coz my mum went away and i needed a way to get around anyway u can still learn to drive a manual when u have your auto liscnce it is still a 'learners' for manuals. learn to drive the gem. then go for your manuals. itll cost you less and it will be better to drive.
