Anyone with experience want to help me do an auto to manual swap on my '94ex? Or know a good shop that could do it? I have $ to spend.

I haven't bought the parts yet, I have been looking at a place in temple city that does the swap for ~2500. Seems steep to me, hoping some fellow H-T guys could basically show me how to do it while i do heavy lifting

I believe the place is called autolink, http://www.autolinkmotorworks.com. Yeah, the price seems ridiculously high to me.

I always wondered how much it would cost to get this done. I thought about converting my auto 94 EX to manual but thought it would be too expensive. Could you give me some figures/estimations on how much it would cost?

Man forget autolink. Those guys have the highest prices around here in So Cal. I'm sure you can find someone else who will probably do it for cheaper.
