My girlfriend had it done in her 1g, auto to manual. Ran Just under $3k out the door parts and labor. She also had a timing belt job done so subtract about 450 from that and you have roughly $2500 parts and labor....(including tranny). If you have your own tranny you could probably knock off about 3-500. For all you bay area guys that are interested in this give Tom a call at Sprint Mechanics. Install beautiful. Looks bone stock. No hack jobs with them. 408-281-4192. Tell him Billy sent yah.
