I can be done for under 600 i'm sure.

Find a pull a part that will do some trading with you as I did. You might have to take a loss, but I traded my auto D series trans for the linkage, hydro lines, slave, master, resivor and pedal assembly.

Then buy your trans and possibly an ECU i dont know if 96-2000 need the diff ecu or not.

With trading stuff off, I only paid roughly 150

EDIT: I did it in about 5 hours start to finish.......on jack stands in my driveway
