Does anyone know if the 1985 US 32v 928s needs to have the firewall modified for an automatic to manual conversion? I guess the easiest way to know for sure is to get under the car but I thought I read somewhere that, from 1985 on, the firewall was already configured for it.

If anyone has done this on my model year car I’d appreciate learning from your experience. What I’d prefer to avoid, though, are people telling me it’s a bad idea based on how it might affect the car's value, whether it makes more sense to sell mine and buy a manual or which transmission is better.

Let’s just assume I’ve made up my mind and want to plan the job. I might hit a roadblock that makes me change my mind (technically or financially) but I’m looking for practical experience, not opinions as many threads related to manual swaps tend to go.
