For what you're going to pay in parts and labor, you could sell your V6, add your swap
money, and buy an 05-07, GT 5-speed.
Example:

The 5W55S can be had for as low as $575.
However, the manual swap has been done, you need the ECU from a manual as well.

You also need a brake masker from a standard for the slave cylinder in the
trans. If you look at the auto, there is a tube that comes off the master
but it's heat pinch welded shut. There is no barb on it to connect the
hydraulic line for the manual.

The brake and clutch are on one assembly.
