I have heard of a people doing this. Changing from a auto to a manual. Is it really worth the swap and do I just go to a auto yard and find one in good condition. How hard is it really to do? What sort of gains could I expect from doing this sort of swap?? What would a good manual tranny cost? Thanks for any info or advice anyone could offer.
