Around How much would it cost to change an automatic transmission to manual? Just curious...?

Around How much would it cost to change an automatic transmission to manual? Just curious? Im looking to buying a new car. Well and older car but can find any good manual transmission ones only nice automatic ones. Any idea of how much it would run me to swap it?Around How much would it cost to change an automatic transmission to manual? Just curious...?I agree, it would probably cost just as much or more than you paid for the car to convert the transmission.Around How much would it cost to change an automatic transmission to manual? Just curious...?depends on the car but it's going to be more expensive than just looking for a manual car to begin with. It's not just changing the transmission, you also have to install a clutch pedal and linkage, most likely replace the driveshaft, and possibly the computer and wiring. It's not worth the expense to change a car over to manual, just keep on looking for a manual car to buy.Around How much would it cost to change an automatic transmission to manual? Just curious...?Ballpark of $4,000. Say you buy the manual transmision for $1,000. Now is it longer or shorter and will the driveshaft have to be cut or lengthened and will you need (likely) different transmission mounts as well as new clutch, pressure plate %26amp; throwout bearing. Now the hard part is how to mount the clutch pedal and can you find parts to make it work mechanically or will it require a slave clutch cylinder. And when it is ready it will likely never be close to as good as a factory setup. Better option is to get another vehicle with it already a manual transmission.
