a price for a fairly good transmission and labor fees would be nice to know ^_^

it is a bad idea and a waste of money convert an automatic transmission to manual, it doesn't make sense, it is A LOT better to just buy a manual car...

it would cost more than the value of the car. it is close to 1000 just to put a new trans in a manual. figure 3000 bucks for this conversion.

The correct answer to this is about $8,000 to do it correctly. You will need the tranny, tranny mounts, ECU from the 5-speed car, The wiring harness from the 5-speed car, axles from the 5-speed car, shift linkage, the shifter itself, shift knob, the different center console to accept the stick shift, the clutch master cylinder, all the hydraulic hoses/metal hoses, clutch pedal, and various other parts. All honesty it would be cheaper to buy a 95 or newer GSR thats already a manual. Most shops charge "flat rates" to do stuff such as this. All the shops in my area (east coast) charge between $2,000-$3,000 JUST IN LABOR to do this swap.

A good tranny and the labor would probably cost about $2500
