hey everyone i was thinking about selling my auto max for a 99 mustang GT 5speed but realized that the main thing i want is a 5speed with power which could be my max, so i was wondering if anyone that has done the switch from auto to manual could tell me about how much it costs and if most mechanics will do it/how long it takes etc....help would be greatly appreciated, i couldnt find anything else on thei topic under search so please reply!!!!!!!

 

The cost depends on how much you have to pay for the used 5-speed parts. It might be best to buy a wrecked car to use as an "organ donor". That way you get everything you need in one package.

The cost also depends on the labor rate in your town. Labor rates tend to be lower in rural areas and higher in urban areas.
