I heard if you have donor truck already with a 5spd fairly easy. I was originally going to do just that but couldn't find any 5spd's in my area.

my local shop said it wouldnt be worth it... he said that to switch my transmission to a manual stick shift and build it up it would cost $3300 and to just build up my auto he wants $2800

Not bad if you can find someone to do a swap with. Or if you can find someone parting out a truck I have a 94 sitting here that I can get the pedals out of. The rest is gone. Other than the cluster.
