AT to MT (part 2)

Well I just found a 5-Speed on Ebay, payed for it today, should be getting shipped today...I was wondering if anyone had any experience with swapping a 5-speed into an automatic. I can't put the transmission in myself, so i'll have a shop do that, but i'm undecided on if I should have them do the rest of the conversion too. I don't want to get charged another 5 hours labor for stuff I can do. Anyone know all the steps involved? any help would be greatly appreciated.

it's a sports car...why are you making a MT an AT? just curious.


edit: maybe i read that wrong...did you buy an automatic and what to drop in a manual???

yes I bought automatic, blew the tranny, now i just bought a manual and all the stuff to convert it, i just would like some info from some1 who may have had experience doing the swap.

your best bet is to search on 3si....ive seen TONS of threads about the swap.
