It depends on how much you like your car. It'll be a little more expensive to do the conversion and take some work but may also be worth it if your engine has low miles.

True. If you have the right places to look it can be worth it. Plus you don't have to go through all that trouble finding another car.

5spd conversion is def worth it if your car is in good condition.
