I read that whole thread and there's no mention of a manual trans. I even checked out quaife's website and the websites of the 2 top US importers and it was not on there.
yes, I am pretty sure there are for manual. Maybe you to contact the manufacturer: www.BirdsAuto.com and tell them your VIN number then they will quote one for you.

Just called Birdsauto and they directed me to their distributor in Philadelphia called Vac motorsports.
Called Vac and talked to Steve. Gave him my VIN and he said he didn't see it in his computer
but he will look into it and get back to me.
I also asked him to see if i could get a bigger final drive gear because Quaife usually
stays with stock size.

Diffsonline should also be able to get it, I got mine from there and they installed the Quaife in the rear end.
Type of trans has no impact on installing a Quaife unit but I was told you can not change the final drive ratio with the auto trans. I think you can on the manual but I'm not sure. I always reference the Dinan website. If they offer it, you can do it.

Everything you could want with a diff. As you can see you can go nuts with a gear changes and polishing. All you need is the Quaife installed to give your car the feel of an M car.
