it might be easier just to sell what you own, and buy a manual one..



i don't know what the cost difference is though..

Its costing me so far, $4500 in parts, and the labor is costing me $850 which isn't to bad. Parts are the big thing, and finding someone who knows what they're doing.

Im pretty sure you have to switch the whole gauge cluster if you go that route. I just left mine the same. The only diffrence is the redline starts at 7k on the auto tach vice 8k on the manual one. FYI I did the whole swap for around $1800 and thats including a new ACT s/s clutch package and new slave and master cylinders. I did all the labor myself though. The swap is well worth it for several reasons.
