6spd Transmission Swap!!!!!
I think you should go through with it. I'm your same age and plan on doing this same swap in a friend of mines garage. They okayed it and Her father is going to help me throughout the process. Good luck with your decision.

Also, insurance doesn't care whether it's stick, auto, stock 3.2, 3.5, etc. They care about the vin. And in the event of a collision or other loss, they will reimburse you the value of the vehicle belonging to the vin, unless you specifically purchase coverage for any post-production modifications.
There's 2 problems with the idea behind this. One is that the amount of time and effort involved in the swap. It's not something easy, and your car will be down for a good bit of time. Number two is the amount of money involved -- that's money that you won't recoup. When it comes time to sell the car, you're going to get exactly what you would have if you sold it stock -- probably less, actually.
That said, there are no legal ramifications to performing this, and if you really want to, have fun.
