YES, a lot easier than auto to manual.
changing the transmission is the easiest part then you have do all the laying in the floor board under the dash to get rid of the clutch pedal and that's not easy for a big guy in a little car, if your big take out the drivers side seat it's alot easier to manuver. Then change the linkage and shifter and maybe the ratio on the speedometer cable gear.oh ya you cross member may need a little adjustment
And don't forget to get a radiator with transmission cooling line connections.
The conversion is much more complex. 1:) the cross membre will not work from a manual. You will need one from an automatic because of its geometrical slope, You have to change the flywheel, add the torque converter and pretty much the backing plates as well as other hardware from "doner"
I just did the conversion, Toook the auto from my 1991, and put it in my 89

I am assuming that this is the question, how do I convert a manual 540 to automatic? The answer is easy as I want to convert my automatic 540 to manual so we swap parts. philip@linkecu.com
Converting a manual transmission to automatic transmission is not possible but you can replace a manual transmission to an automativ transmission . That is also an expensive deal.
Too much
You sell the automatic and by one with a manual transmission. It's too expensive and too time consuming to swap them.
yes
You must be kidding!!! Sell this car and buy an automatic.
No, but you can convert it to a push button system.
Sure! But it would probably be cheaper to buy another car.
Why the hell would you want to?
Cut and paste it as text only
Going from a manual to an automatic is not that hard but going from automatic to manual is a not easy. This will be a very expensive conversion unless you buy a donor car to get parts from. From my experience I suggest if you want a Saturn with a manual transmission then sell the one you have and go buy one with a manual. You will be money ahead.
You could, but it would be easier and cheaper to buy a manual truck.
