My Auto to Manual Swap IS DONE, finally! Options

[hurley97]

so i have the major parts for the auto to manual swap but now i need help
i would love to do it myself and everything...i just dont have the experience, or man power for that matter

ive gotten the ever popular "its not worth it, just buy a new car" which i choose to ignore, the "well i could do it for $2,000" which is way over my budget, and the wannabe mechanic doing work out of his garage who says "id love to try, can i give you an estimate" then never answers the phone again

id trust a 6gc-er over anyone else anyway so i figured id at least ask before looking elsewhere any more
i will pay, just let me know what you think is fair and i'll tell you if i can pay it

please help
thanks

so this ended up costing me wayy too much money in the end but hopefully it will all be worth it, heres the final cost breakdown:

Manual transmission
Manual ECU
Flywheel/ Clutch/ bolts
Shifter cables
Clutch slave cylinder (attached to tranny)
Clutch lines (attached to tranny)
$400

Clutch pedal assembly
Clutch master cylinder
Brake pedal
$200

All 4 motor mounts
Resurface flywheel
New clutch
$140

TRD shifter assembly
$187.25

coming out to a grand total of $927.25
had i went with the stock shifter it would have only come out to about 800 but hopefully it will be well worth the extra cash...hopefully


got it all. ready to go. ive been waiting a long time to get this far, hopefully it will be done this weekend ::cross fingers::

...im incredibly excited
