I found an au site that has an article on a kit that allows a manual gearbox to be put behind the 1uz-fe. Cant read all of it unless you sign up to their site.

That would be awesome to feel the LS pull on every shirt,but the only problem would be losing the smoothness of the ride.

I would love to have e-shift though.

retro, do you know the website for levelten? how much for the e-shift conversion? sounds quite tempting (almost as good as a couple earthquake shredders)

If you combine the E-shift with a torque converter,it would eliminate the LS's wide shifting pattern and trun the LS into a rocket sedan.

I know it does sound tempting but I have just spent to much on my car.Lucky i broke up with my girl just before I got the LS,now I have no worries about spending.
