No idea what the hell you are asking about.
Whatever it is, I will bet my car it has been answered in one form or another on this site. The search feature does not have STD's, so it's safe to use. Trust me :licka:

I think he is wondering how much it would cost and what all would be involved to convert it to a 5-speed since he hates automatics so much. Thats just my guess though. I'm gonna go along with my guess being the correct answer and tell him something important...
If you are going to turn it into a track car or whatever, its much better to have an automatic with a shift kit in it. You can run much much more consistant in an automatic than a 5-speed. If you are not doing anything to it though and keeping it a daily driver, then thats all personal preference.
Things to keep in mind when converting to a 5-speed. You will need a new tranny, flywheel, clutch, shifter, shifter cables, and possible other drivetrain parts. Since it is AWD then your tranny, transfer case, rear diff and all that must have the same amount of splines. Its a pain in the ass to mix and match those parts and still retain the same number of splines unless you get lucky and get the whole setup from another car which is pretty rare unless its in the junkyard and hasn't already been picked apart.
Just my :2cents: on it all though. Hope that my guess was right and helps...
Oh yeah, also another important thing. Please make use of the correct sub-forums for your threads that you post. :wink:
