..... Wow,, I have helped with this project.. And I dont know what all of you are talking about, but if you compare selling to car, and geting a 5 spd to doing the conversion, its much easyer, and you have more peace of mind just to sell the car, and get a 5 spd. It would be more worth it.

you said you painted it, and its really clean? Then you can get more $ out of it. Some people are willing to pay more for an auto (since the auto trannys cost more).
Just put your car in the paper and see what you might get for it. And then make up your mind.

Hell, you might be able to sell the car for as much as you can buy a clean 5 spd, and still have 1000$ left over for a paint job.
