there is more labor with the ST --> 3SGTE swap by far. Engine mounts, basically the whole drivetrain is being replaced. And an auto --> manual conversion? Sell the car and start with a GT. Do a straight motor drop for $750 and you're done (well, then there's wiring).

$4500 for an Auto ST --> Manual 3SGTE I guess is alright. But I'd get it in writing that it ain't going over that and that it's getting done within a certain time frame. They are going to run into a hundred little unforseen issues that are going to swallow up time and money and they're going to try and pass that off on you.

Where did you get an engine and all the parts necessary for $750?!
