Have 4.10 or 3.73 gears installed with a LSD. Your auto will be a lot more fun. Maybe even funner

Wouldn't it cost less to sell what you have and buy something else, rather than an engine and tranny swap? How experienced are you at this?

These confuse me. Does this thing actually make your transmission shift faster, or is it simply there to look cool and prevent miss shifts? Is it really THAT hard to accidentally "skip a shift" with the stock shifter?

My dd is a manual, my GT an auto...lol.

You should just trade if you want the manual....much easier in the long run.

It's to prevent missed shifts or throwing it in reverse/neutral/park and to look good. I'd get one if they weren't $350 or whatever
