About 1500 more....500 in parts and 1000 in labor. I priced it at one time. There's no point in really doing that, you can get an automatic gsr swap

I'd recommend selling your current car and purchasing a 5-speed. It saves you a lot of hassle and money in the long run!

unless you are pretty proficient with your mechanic skills and can do the change over yourself, i wouldn't bother paying someone to do it.

like drumsy sed, it might be easier starting with a manual tranny.
