Default Transmission swap

Hi I have a 03GT AT i was wondering if the ppl that have done a auto to manual swap have found it worth it? I found a kit that comes with all the parts i need to do the swap and I can do the labor all myself so is it worth it?

there is a kit you can get for about 1400 if you can do the work yourself and you like manuals, go for it. I would also take into consideration if it would be cheaper to trade in for a manual.

sell the car, buy a manual car, unless you already have significant work done to yours.
