are you trying to say you want to switch from a automatic trans to a manual trans??
how do you know this will cost less than buying a new car if you don't know what you need to price out the install? are you paying the "professional" to install it? do you know how much you will pay him? hourly? if hourly how did he quote you? shouldn't he know what you need?
personally i think converting a auto to a manual will cost way more than its worth. if you want a manual just buy it. sell your car and use the $$$ to buy a car with a manual in your price range.

that didnt take long for you to decide lol, think this well over, it is my all means alot more cost effective to get the GT, but why not wait a lil more , perhaps whenever the 2012 comes out. cause every minute that passes a used GT just gets cheaper and cheaper, so it may be wiser to wait.
