Re: [doc] Manual/Auto

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can put a manual in an auto chassis but not the other way around - 
there are 4 lugs welded to the chassis to space out the tranny mounts on 
the manual, and they're not there on the auto, so you can just make 
spacers and use longer bolts, but the lugs would be in the way going the 
other way around.
