Hi,
First of all Happy new year!

Does anyone know or have done a conversion to a 2.0 CC from manual gear box to automatic, or at least installed and use a hydraulic clutch?
I really like the car and don't want to exchange it, I've a little issue in my left leg regarding a bike crash, so I think this mod would do the trick for a couple more years..
It only has 48.000 KM, and trouble free since brand new (02 model)....

Thanks for all your input.
Cheers,
JP.

Thanks for the input.
Are you planning the same?
Some people already told me that I will need the complete gearbox and clutch from an automatic.
Guess it's time to get a low mileage one in a junkyard with the gearbox and related stuff in good condition!
Cheers,
J.

Ok, thanks.
So any idea to how to go around this? any kind of clutch? For bikes there is the rekluse http://www.rekluse.com/
But for cars I didn't find anything...
Cheers,
J.

I'd sell the manual car in the spring when you'd get a better price for it hopefully. Then buy an automatic. But I'm not happy with the reputation of French auto-boxes, I'd go for a different make of car.
