Also, does anyone happen to know if swapping my transmission to a manual will help out much with fuel mileage on the 1kd? I know with the 2LTE's it is a drastically different experience when linked to the r151 instead of the a343. Would all the extra drivetrain work be worth it for driving on the highway? Let me know what the best options would be.
