With money, everything is possible.

It can be done. I'm converting a 97 into a 6spd right now. It will be much easier when the 02-03 6spd's are a little older and more available in salvage yards. If you can get your hands on a front clip for a reasonable price i'd say you could do it for around $3-4000.

Get the VB mod and your auto will shift like a manual. $400 at the most.

Hold it. Jeff.. did you say 6-spd onto a 4th gen or did you typo that?

If you didn't typo, is it a factory 6speed or a getrag?

I was about to get a local rebuild done on my tranny (easier because I'm local as opposed to driving to NY), but a 6-speed.............. hmmmm.....
