ok i konw that some gps made from 04 and up have a shift option in the consel so it becomes a semi auto. do u guys think a 97-03 gp could be converted to do the same. i know its all electronic but the shifter that our cars have arn't secure enough. like when u shift from 2 to 3 there is no destinktive "click", u got to look to make sure the selector moved.

It's been done, but no point IMO. It's not going to be like the 04+ tap shift.

the conversion I saw just replaced the PCM shift signals all together and drove the proper gear solenoids based on the selected gear for the shifter box he used.

i tried finding photos of a new gp that had the manual mode in the shifter console, but no avail. all i can find are the tap shifts, i swear i saw a man mode in the gear selector at a dealer... the conversion that u mentioned, do u kno if it was a semi auto or a electronic manual?

not sure what the difference would be... it was basically a clutch-less manual.
