i havent done it, but the costs vary .....it depends on how cheap you can get parts, how much you get charged for labor, if you can do it yourself, etc.....people who have done it, have not had any problems that i know of, and all is well

It cost me about 2200, but I feel it was worth it.

If you mean how long did it take from when I first started ordering parts it was about a month and a half

If your talking about how long it took to put it in it was about 22 hours.

The only problem I have is when I run the car really hard or if I have exceeded the max capacity in lbs.(friends) the shifter becomes very difficult to engage.

I did my conversion back in feb or so. I had only one problem, the tranny that I got had the bearings fail. I have just rebuilt my tranny, and will be back on the road monday. Definitely worth it, and definitely feels stock. Couldn't think of a better mod, but its a PITA. If you do it yourself, you learn about the car alot too. I spent about 1200, thats including buying tools, which were about 150 or so. Took me over a week to do it, b/c ups messed up on shipping. If I had all the parts, I think i could do it in one day, max 2.

I just got my car back from the the shop yeasterday and i LOVE this change. Its a totally diffrent car now.

I got the deal of the century as far as price goes so i wont get into that. Everything is great on the car except my car idles i little rougher than before, its a very minor change that anyone not familliar with the car wouldnt notice. All in all its well worth it.
