I hope someone can me some advice on this.

Can anyone recommend a reliable, reasonably priced workshop that's experienced in replacing Wira gearbox in KL/PJ area.

I have a 10 yr old Wira 1.6 auto whose gearbox just conked out. I've already changed it twice in 2 years. I have learnt my lesson - if you buy a car with auto transmission, get rid of it before it reaches 10 yrs old. Anyway since I'm stuck with it now, I'm considering changing it to a manual gearbox.

I don't need a fancy racing transmission, just a normal one will do. Its just an old car that my family uses to go to the market. Also if anyone knows around how much such a auto to manual conversion might cost, I would appreciate the information. One workshop I called quoted RM2,200 (second hand gearbox + parts + labour) and it seemed a bit high for me. Thanks.

The thing is I don't know where to get such things. Sometimes workshop mechanics are not the most honest people. Any advice where to get?
