its not hard at all. the hardest part for me is getting the nuts under the dash. i got big hands so they dont fit up under there.

ps
please please dont ask what parts u would need.

I have done so many auto to manual swaps!! lol. I did one a week for 2-3 months straight last year. My question to all is why not just buy a manual?

i just recently did a manual swap in my eg8.. not too hard.. it took me one weekend of laziness and no help.. but im like you, i got a good deal an auto..

so i guess the main question is, would i do it again? i'd say definitely. you dont find too many good deals these days, so you gotta jump on it when you do :goodjob:
