Your post didn't have anything to do with the thread in which you posted it, so I moved it to its own thread.
Check the tech articles linked from the thirdgen.org homepage. There's an article about swapping from auto to 5-speed.

Re: Swap to a 5-speed
Speaking of this.
I was thinking about swapping to a 305 instead of fixing my V6, need something to do now that all other cars are working
Can I use the same gearbox (5-speed manual) that is currently bolted to my 2,8 or is it too weak for the 305? I know the 305 came with manual transmission but is it the same?

Re: Swap to a 5-speed
No, V6 T5's and V8 T5's are different. Most notably the bellhousing, and the internal gear ratios. Some people have successfully used a V6 T5 with a V8 bellhousing on a V8 engine, but its not recommended.
Search the Tranny/Drivetrain forum for more info. Its a pretty common question.
