OP: It is possible, but unless you are ready to invest deep money into your car, I stick with my original suggestion and go with the TCI ratchet shifter. It is what I did and I love it.

I did it, but i traded set ups with someone nearby who wanted to go auto. So i only had to pay for labor which was $450. Buying all the parts on your own isn't cost efficient and will come out to at least $2000.

So i have a 2010 V6 auto, and i really want to drive stick. my dad got the car auto because not everyone in the family can drive stick. my question here is, can i convert a auto to stick? and what parts will i need? im not worried about cost right now cause it will be a while till i do this, but im more curious if its possible. thanks!!
2nd. If your dad bought the car that way for a reason, is he going to care if you change it?
3rd. The auto can shift faster than you.
4th. If you want to shift, be practical and put in a ratcheting shifter. Money wise that is your best option.

Trade it in for a stick and be miles ahead.
You dont know what you are messing with.
Its a 200* Mustang, not a 65'.
Tranny swaps are not what they used to be.

Sorta I guess...Same basic concept except the ratchet action makes sure you don't skip a gear..i.e.. There's no way to mistakenly double tap it up/down 2 gears since it has to return to it's resting position before you can shift again. They also have a reverse lockout so you can't get into reverse or park by accident.
