You'll need more parts than just a transmission

Flywheel
Transmission
Slave cylinder with throwout bearing
Pressure plate and clutch disc
Rubber shift isolator
Hydraulic hose for the clutch
Shift boot (interior)
Dual pedal assembly
Shifter
PCM (manual trans)
Transmission wiring harness
Transmission/BH spacer plate
Starter motor
Driveshaft
Replacement PCM flashed at the dealer so your keys work
New tune if your running one

As graypony said, theres a lot more to it than just a tranny. But here is a link to NewTakeOff.com which is usually a pretty good deal.

with the transmission posted above he would also need to buy an adapter plate from nice pony, get a dyno tune for the different gearing in it, and get a new d/s and have it shortened.

For the most part, depends what it is.

You could always just go with a TCI ratchet shifter to give you that "shifting fun" you are missing. It is WAY cheaper and a lot easier.

Yeah, I'm glad I bought a 5 speed. I have 4 other vehicles that are all autos.....so I've got to have some fun on the weekends!

dopedc, I honestly think it would be cheaper to trade your car for a 5 speed if that's what you want. Heck, save your $$ and get a 2011 V6 with 6speed!

Should you decide to do this, look for a manual V6 wreck as a donor car.
You'll need even more parts should you go with a GT trans.
