well this is my first post but i have read ALLOT... so here goes i own a 99 gs and i am seriously looking at upgrading it. the problem lies in the fact that it is an auto and i want a manuel, not that there is a better or worse that is just what i would prefer. anyway my car is only a year and a half from being paid off and it only has about 25000 miles on it... don't drive at school. so how difficult would it be to swap the auto for a manuel and about how much would it cost. i am trying to decide if it would be a better decision to sell it and try to find a gsx or just upgrade to a turbo and swap the tranny.. any help would be greatly appreciated...oh and i am sorry about the long post

i have been trying to do as much research as possible and i am about all out of places to look....... could really use some help here

1) I worked on a GST that had it done here. I don't remember the cost but to me it's not worth being without my car for months on end while waiting on nuts and bolts out of junk-yards. If you have a doner car the cost is different but labor is still a real treat. There are other ways to make auto trans get out of their own way. (2) KEEP THE CAR! You got a year left before she's yours. Why would you crawl back into the hole to buy a GSX? Getting it insured is a pain and the one's I rode in weren't that great. I feel my 97 RS with stage I and a bunch of mods could easily keep up.It's your money but that's my 2 cents.

You should call a couple transmission shops if you don't get any replies here. Make sure you contact a couple and ask how much it would cost. To me it would seem as simple as adapter plates but my knowlage like many others about trannys is limited.

well thanks for the advice guys guess that i am just looking for a few opinions from those that know about our cars..... i have been able to find a faq that explains how to do it on a 1g... i guess no one has written one for the 2g yet....
