Its not a huge job. Pulling the auto out and fitting a manual is the easy part. The hard part is the pedal box. To get that sucker in the whole dash has to come forward (easier on ea-ed apparently but thats not going to help you).

If you go ahead make sure you get a late model gearbox. The earlier ones are not as strong and will prob have high k's on them. Also find out what they are going to do about the computer. Some say the auto ecu can be tricked but that never worked for me. If you plan on giving it a bit (which you will do - trust me) get a good clutch setup and use a new clutch cable.
