Depends on how cheap you can find the manual transmission... Is it worth it? That is up to you... You can easily spend quite a few dollars swapping to a manual when you could just get a built auto to handle whatever for just over 4k.

Its not an easy swap, and a manual will not hold up to hp like a build auto will.

You could, but the tranny alone would run you $2k, plus you will need a PCS controler and an adapter...

Then you would just have a stock 5r110 in there.

Money ahead to do a BTS 4r100
