Ok, heres the scoop. The parts cost me 700 drop shipped to the garage im doing it at. And then i sold my auto tranny parts for like 250, so it cost me 450 for the parts really. I got it from www.tacreationsusa.com great guys. It really isnt a PAIN like everyone makes it out to be. I went an got my comp reprogramed for $85 from a guy in tampa. The only PAIN is cutting a whole in the body to get the stick in the car. Other than that, they sent me ALL parts and brackets i needed. They even sent me part of the body of the car it came out of so that i knew where and how to cut the hole. Its taken me a 5 days so far, but thats because i work on it from 2-5 after school, like i said, its in my friends garage. And i also spend time waiting on parts, like my new clutch. This whole conversion can be done in 2-3 solid days. Oh, and also, i had to buy a few conectors for the wiring harness. Cost me a total of $6. I also was able to use the software he has on his comp to see what color wires did what, aka, back up lamps, and park nutral switch, which i rigged up to the clutch pedal. Also, i had my flywheel resurfaced, and i JUST got my new clutch in the mail today, the centerforce dualfriction clutch with a throwout bearing. LOOKS KILLER!
It should all be done tommrow or wednesday, dependsing on homework and what not. Damn high school, thank god im out in 3 months.

you cant shift a torque converter. Some people want it, like i did.Comment

Ahh, but a stick is sooo much more fun than an automatic!
I personally would drive a stick even if it was slower (but, as anyone who knows how to drive one knows, they are quicker). Just look at the transmission ratios and do the math! An automatic may be easier to launch, but from a roll it's manual all the way, baby! A converter can't change your transmission/rear end overall gear ratio and, no matter what anyone says about torque multiplcation yadda, yadda, yadda, the drivetrain can only subtract horsepower.
Anyhow, this argument gets beaten to death and my opinion is just as easy to change as a die-hard auto/converter believer's.\'01 Camaro M5 1SA \"Lightweight\" hardtop, Bright Red, Ebony cloth, FRA, Whisper Lid, B&B cat-back, Torsen 3.73 LSD, HPPIII (93 octane setting)<p>\'00 Camaro SS M6 T-Top, all GM and most SLP opts., Bright Red, Ebony leather, 4.10s, SLP long tubes, Loudmouth, CNC Stage II H/C, etc.Comment
