Please tell me if it can be done or not

yes it can be done, but its probably better just to sell ur car and buy one with a 5spd. Well u need to buy tranny, install a clutch, remove torque convertor, linkage, various brackets, reprogram or replace ECU. I probably left out a couple things but those r pretty big themselves. It is a lot of work!

i had it done on my car and it was totally worth it. i didn't do it myself so i paid out the ass, it cost $3000 for a dx auto to zc standard, now that also included many replacement parts and stuff but to do the conversion you need the following (what i paid without shopping around)


shift linkage $90
pedals $50
clutch cable $10
throttle cable $10
cv shafts $120
tranny mount $50
zc engine $900
si tranny $350
dist $0
pm6 ecy $200

engine install labour $500
dpfi to mpfi labour $200
auto to manual labour $200

then i paid for timing belt, water pump, plugs, filters, fluids

so it worked out to something just over $3g's installed

btw thats all canadian dollars so about $2000us funds.

If your engine swapping anyway then its not terribly hard to do.

Is there any brackets that need to be welded or stuff like that to swap an auto to manual? any websites that tell u how to do it?...
