im in the process, and yes it is a lot of money(if your letting a shop do all the labor) i rounded up parts from part-outs and got some free and payed for others...all i need is a tranny, wire harness and halfshaft, which im just saving up for a decent tranny before all other parts. a shop qouted me 800 to pull the motor, unbolt auto tranny/bolt on manual tranny, and fabricate a manual bracket and put the motor back in. again thats for me cutting labor and time doing all other labor like wiring, harness pedals CMC/CSC im towing it getting the motor and bracket and then towing right back to my garage and complete it....sorry for writing a story.

edit: estimate on scoping out the parts is about 2-4g's depending on going with used/new parts...Labor is about 1g-2g depending on them doing all the work or half the work or just what shop is doing the work...if your not tied to your car i say trade it in.

do not bother with this swap... not only will it cost you but you will run into a lot of problems! If you want a manual just sell the auto and buy a manual...

x2. it's a lot of hassle and money for something that lowers the value of the car.
