Just a thought. But could you interchange the CVT to a manual and swap in a manual ecu? Do the cases have the same bolt up pattern? Is there a hole for the clutch? Or would you have to swap ecu engine and transmission?

 

Am sure it can be done, don’t know how economically feasible it would. You can do all kinds of stuff if you can afford to throw lots of $$$, whether it’s easy, dunno
