That I know of we didn't have the option of manual tilt. 
Yep it can be and it has been done by a member of that Forum. Keep in mind that this needs a lot of hours and it's really a pita but it can be realized. Too bad that I can't remember who it was, but I remember seeing a video at that time. Wish I knew who it wasI checked forum n couldn't find anyone who had just gotten rid of the electric tilt wheel for a standard lever action or manual tilt. Is this possible to do??
USDM L models have manual tilt and LS/GS have the telescoping ones. UKDM's, JDM's and EDM's have the crap manual tilt option. Wish I have the telescoping option. It's so much better in its handling.That I know of we didn't have the option of manual tilt.![]()
