Is it worth the money? And if so, how much would it run for about, doing all the work myself?

really? kwanza, would you summarize it in the shortest bit you can? i mean exactly what needs to be connected or grounded? the guide over on celica.net seems way too complicated (for the likes of me, anyway) and it says if you've got an auto with an ECT controlled trans that it may be more complicated. any tricks w/ the spedo sensor or ???

Manual trannies don't use any sensors aside from the speedo sensor, which is different between the two, I believe. On some models, TPS is also read differently between the two ecus, m/t vs auto... but in this case, many have done m/t swaps still running the auto ecu... so it should be bolt-up and go, assuming you have all of the parts. The auto tranny wires might trigger a CEL, but i'm not sure. I've never personally done an auto--->manual swap.

To summarize:
I'm not sure exactly what you need... but here's a rough list off the top of my head.

manual tranny (C52) make sure it's geared for either the 7AFE or 4AFE. The C52 tranny also came on the FWD Corolla GT-S which is geared differently for the 4AGE.
4AFE or 7AFE flywheel. They might be of different size... but i'm not exactly sure. If anything, just use the corresponding clutch. As long as it's 6 bolts from an A series, it should work.
Clutch (sized to fit flywheel). Assuming the 4afe and 7afe flywheels are different, used the clutch associated to the flywheel.
Shift linkages... and stick... if not still on the tranny. Might need the bushings and seals that go between the tranny and the body also... but the auto ones might be the same. I'm not sure.
Speedo sensor. This might need to be changed and re-wired slightly. I'm not sure... but shouldn't be too hard. A few wires at the most...

That's my rough guess... but a manual swap is pretty basic.
