OK, so i'm not definate on whether i'm going to go with an auto to manual tanny swap or not yet. However i am very curious as to how much the whole swap would cost...iv'e always had auto trannys in my cars and i think it might be time to switch it up and drive with a manual.
I drove my friend's Chevy S10 earlier today and i must say, it felt good to be able to shift. Then as i was driving my car back home, i realized that the automotic is just ehh. The only downsides i can see are having to get used to shifting, which comes with practice, and the fact that i live a city with a LOT of hills and traffic  .so, for those of you who have done a swap, do you know how much it would cost/ how hard it would be to o the swap myself? edit: also i wanted to turbo my 5sfe sometime down the line. So would there be any complications with shifting and turbo lag?

that seems about what i thought it would cost. yeah if you could post the parts that are needed, that would definately help.
also, do you think it would be worth the swap living somewhere where i have to deal with hills and traffic quite a bit? thnks guys -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"
