i think it would be better if you just trade it in for another car.

With the price of getting the new brake pedal, the wiring harness for the A/T, the A/T, the new ECU for the car and the TCU I'd have to guess a better set of gears or a 6spd would be about the same amount.

Hello,

The conversion will be harder than doing it the other way around. Adding an Auto will be painfull. Aside from the transmission itself, you'll need to add the TCU (tranmission control unit), a couple switches and sensors, etc. You should get a hold of a service manual and look up the inputs to the TCU. There are many of them and you'll need to wire them all in...

Sadly, it's probably easier to trade cars than transmissions, unless you have more money and time than you know what to do with... uhh, in which case you might as well take the loss on trading a car.
