since you're replacing an auto tranny with a manual the trannies themselves will cost $3K if you have a mechanic do it. if you do it yourself (and you have all the tools) the transmissions will be the same price (minus the labor costs).
You could, but it would be easier and cheaper to buy a manual truck.
Sure! But it would probably be cheaper to buy another car.
Why the hell would you want to?
Yes it will... you need to switch the flywheels though to mount it to the automatic transmission...
figure between 2 to 3 grand.
That really just depends on the car and if it's a 4,5,or a 6 speed.
Yes you can, but generally the differences between manual and automatic transmissions go far deeper than just the transmissions to the point where it would be more cost effective to simply sell your current car and buy a manual one.
Yes, by removing the manual transmission and installing an automatic. Unless you have a donor car this would be extremely expensive. My advice is that if you want an A/T sell the car you have and then buy one with an automatic.
You cannot convert an automatic transmission to a manual one, but you can replace the automatic with a manual. It is a big job and if you do not do it your self would probably cost a lot more than selling the automatic truck and buying a manual truck. The manual will require different shift linkage, adding clutch pedal and parts to actuate the clutch, and you may need a drive shaft of different length. It is also common for automatics and manuals to use different rear axle ratios, and even the Electrinic Control Module and some wiring may need to be changed. Maybe that automatic is not so bad after all.
It would not likely be cost effective to convert the transmission. It would cost several thousand dollars, but it is doable.
it depends on what kind of car, how much of parts inventory you personally have, and how much work you are planning on doing.............
By selling this car and buying another one with a manual. Unless you have a donor car, with all the parts, this would be cost prohibitive.
