Default automatic conversion

I wouldn't mind converting my automatic into a 5 speed. Is that a pain in the ***? How much does something like that run?

I dont think so! Maybe be close, or have a little edge, but definitely NO raping going on.

Actually it's not bad at all. I didn't have to do any cutting on my 98. Putting in the clutch pedal is just a matter of bolting on the brake/clutch pedal assembly, which goes directly in place of the old brake pedal. I spent $1200 on the conversion kit, and another $300 or so replacing the bearings and synchronizers before I installed the transmission. Did the swap in less than a day.

Right, like I said. Maybe a little edge, but not a rape.

Define "rape". We're talking lengths here dude.
