Change from auto to 5-speed

[moondoggie]

How expensive/difficult is it to change a 1g gsx/tsi from auto to 5-speed. I have found about four gsx's or tsi's that i want to buy and are cheap, but are all auto. Will it be too expensive to change trans type.

I'm about to do it, have all parts coming from one guy. I roughly got everything for about $1000, but I plan on the B&M Shifter, stiff bushings, and a few other things. Will probably bring it up to $1300, and that is not bad. You figure if you were to buy a higher stall torque converter that would be about a grand.
