Has anyone any experience of converting an 850 from an Auto to manual.

Andrew beat me to it...can be done fairly easy lot of work though.
Why not try to get a replacement auto box? Still quite a job to replace but you won't have to fit clutch parts.

I am breaking a 1996 850 with an auto box. The gearbox is perfect. Your more than welcome to have the whole car for the price of the scrap man if you have a trailer, when I have finished taking off what I want. The engine has a massive oil leak from the main crank seal I believe, but it still starts and moves at the moment
