Benefits
✅ Higher top speeds – Cruise comfortably at 75–85mph (vs. the standard 65- 70mph)
✅ Better fuel economy – Thanks to more efficient gearing
✅ More control – Whether you’re tackling hills or winding country lanes, you can make sure your Figaro responds as it should
✅ A more engaging drive – It feels sportier and gives you more control
✅ Increased long-term reliability – Fewer issues than aging automatic boxes
✅ Loved by owners – The polls are in, and our clients say it’s a complete game changer

What is the cost?
Unfortunately, this upgrade is becoming harder to offer due to the difficulty in sourcing the increasingly rare 5-speed gearbox from the Nissan Micra K10. However, we have some great news – we have just secured three, meaning three lucky Figaro owners will get the chance to transform their drive.

The cost of a manual swap at The Figaro Shop is £4495. This price includes parts, labour, and VAT. It also includes your custom-coloured, hand-stitched leather gear stick. Unfortunately, the cost of the donor cars to extract the manual gearbox is now between £1500 £ 2000, but we promise you will not be disappointed with your Figaro’s new va-va-voom!
