Default Switch auto trans to manual???

Is this a possibility? I got an auto so that the wife to be could drive it when needed but she recently got a new car so now I am wondering if this swap could happen. I am not sure how it would even work but if theres a chance...and it is not too expensive...than I may give it a go.

Very complex to do that conversion.
You must change wiring harnesses and PCM, crossmember, trans, pedals. shifter, flywheel.
It will be over 5K to do this yourself - more to pay a shop.
You are better off tradingfor a manual if that is what you want.

I agree the trade-in is easier and simpler. Find a manual GT at a dealership with similar mileage, offer the salesman 1000 dollars and your car, and drive off with your new (used) manual GT.

Trade it. Not worth the effort to do a conversion.
