Default Converting an automatic to standard

I have a 92 teg which is regretably an auto. i am planning on a complete swap and was curious to what spacific parts i will need above and beyond the basic swap?
gauge cluster, sift linkage, the shifter.
i also wanted to know if it is possible with some cusome work to have a six speed trany.

This is probably not the answer you're looking for but it's not worth changing over a 92 teg to manual. Just buy a new car with manual. It's cheaper when you add it all up, unless you have dozens of mods on your car you want to keep, and can't carry over. You could also consider getting your autotranny rebuilt but that would again be expensive.

Well i thought of that too. but i reacently bought this car for 1500 which is really decent price for a car w/ only one owner as well. and finding exactly what i want is difficult in maine, and i would have trouble selling mine and probably loose money and spend more.
could i just take the stick and shift linkage from a 92 junk teg and fit it to the engine swap?

From what I've heard, it generally costs between 1500 and 2000 bucks to convert an auto to standard, and its a PITA.

actually its 1500-2000 CANADIAN funds for a g2 teg.. there have been about 3 or 4 g2 tegs in vancouver canada(where i am) and they all paid on average 1800 bucks.. parts were about 1000 and labour is variable...so youre looking at about 1000-1200 US.. anymore would be kinda a rip off.

go to www.g2ic.com and youll find all the answers youre looking for for parts.. youll need mounts, clutch cable brackets, clutch cable, tranny, guage cluster, ecu, shift linkage, etc etc..
