Why would you want to change to a stick? Lets see:

1. waste time and money.
2. depreciate your car even more.
3. lose the ability to hold the girls head down while driving
4. auto is the fastest max
5. most importantly! you dont have an od button on your shifter


anyways im just bored and i wish i had a 5spd

Are you trying to start crap ? haha, just playin.. I did the 5spd conversion and writeup b/c I wanted to be able to feel like I was really driving my car, and wow it did just that. I know you are joking about #4 so I wont even comment any more... oh and #2, depreciate it even more.. although edmunds.com might say its worth less, real value in the market on a 5spd loaded is way more then auto atleast in Louisville... b/c there are a million autos... but when people are SEARCHING for a loaded 5spd, they will pay a lot and htere are very very few out there...

converting 5spd --> auto is MUCH harder then converting auto-->5spd.. b/c 5spd has many less wiring harnesses going to the ecu. Not to say it can't be done, just a bigger challenge.
