with the lack of punctuation, it made your run on sentence VERY hard to read.....

who is the guy?
and he already has a swap?
or he has a donor car?

^buy the wrecked car and fix it up!
lol

or just buy a six speed.

these cars are fairly cheap!! like 6 grand could get you an awesome six speed TL.

it probably would cost somewhere in the same neighborhood to swap!
a couple grand for parts and then a couple grand for labor....

So if you didn't get it from the previous responses.....it will cost you just about as much to properly do a swap as it would to go buy another car. There are some that have made the swap successfully...there are some that were not quite so successful.

that's a tough spot to be in! Your best bet for saving money is just to swap an accord v6 trans in if your car is a 2004-2006 for around $800 for the trans plus labor.

If you want the 6MT option, it's going to cost a bit more for the whole swap bc you'll have to swap out the knuckles, brakes, gauge cluster, etc. At least 2K in my opinion.
