Transmission!!! need hELP!! MANUAL SWAP

I think it is time for a manual swap because I think my auto is going to die!!!! I'm SO ****ED!!!!!!Well I'm not sure if it is the tranny, but I'm almost certain it is. Here is the problem, when i give the car gas it seems as if the trans is slipping, because the cars rpm's rise but it is not going as fast as it normal does. If i floor it the rpms will rise then drop and then finally start going somewhere. So my question is how much it it for a 00 gxe to go from auto to manual. All the parts and labor what am i looking at for the price? I found this tranny on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB..............BTW I think is becasue of that drop resistor mod. I know it did more harm than good.

I would goto the nissan dealer and tell them the tranny has been skipping for over a month or so now, maybe they will honor it.

I dont know how much a conv. is.

Manual conversion will run anywhere from 1500-3000 depending on the cost of the tranny whether you get a standard or LSD tranny, then aftermarket flywheel, heavy duty clutch, all these things add cost. Then the cost of labor. Labor on this conversion runs 900-1000 for it.

Im doing the whole setup myself, and Ive got a custom lsd, fidanza flywheel, spec stageii kevlar clutch, custom lines, and the whole setup is running me about 2000 not to mention im doing the whole thing myself.

Using straight AN/NPT fittings on the master cylinder and slave cylinder, and then braided line between the two. Nothing else, no Ts, no cooling line, none of that mess.
