Now,

I did a search already and it did not come up with much.

Has anyone done it? I have a auto and was eventually wanting to convert to a manual.

Any write-up's or thoughts?

 

Heres one

I think this will be more cost effective once more TL's are in the junkyards.

Seems this NVA-AV6 knows what to do, i would probably see if he can help.

 

^^^^
nva-av6 did mine. do you live close to VA?? I dont think there is any real write ups. i would say slowly find the parts. trans/ecu/pedals/key selenoid etc. or you can pm him and see what he can do for you. what a difference from AT ---> MT..

 

Whenever my 5AT dies, I'll be putting in a 6MT.

or you can do the mt swap then sell the AT trans, an put that towards the tab..

resale of a "good" trans varies from 800-1k..
