Automatic To Stick Conversion

I payed $3000Cdn for a ZC with an auto to manual conversion. That equals about $2000US. That also included a new timing belt, water pump, spark plugs and other misc stuff.

swapping just the tranny isnt worth it. but when you decide to do an engine swap thats the time to do it. it should all just bolt up easy.

I haven't done it yet but I have been quoted $1300 to do this swap. There is no way I would do it if it was 3k that's for sure but thats just me.

The way I look at it just do what makes you happy. If doing a auto to manual swap is what you wan't then by all means do it regardless of price or what other people say.

It is not that hard to do...as long as you have all of the parts that you need
