ANYONE HERE KNOW HOW TO DO 5 speed conversion?

i was undecided upon getting new car or converting...it takes too much work finding someone to buy my car at the price it deserves and i have more options if i do 5 speed conversion....

I live in New Jersey and looking for anyone in NJ, NY and PA area....i talked to someone earlier about this and he lives in ny said he would do it for me at a good price but i changed my mind about conversion when he told me u couldn't take engine light off even when resetting ECU and stuff...i think there is a way, i'll do more research on that...nonetheless, i need someone who KNOWS what they are doing to do it for me...the guy i talked to before, please email me cause this is going to be my summer project and i'll be saving up for your payment from now till we start project....i just got a financing credit card so i can buy trans and use all summer to pay it off...but i want this done so badly...if ANYONE in my area knows how to do this, please put info here or email me and let me know how much u would charge me along with when would you be able to do it and how long it would take...also, let me know if it's possible to take off engine light...real serious bout this...want this done around mid may to mid june...thanks all of you...

Then you're better off selling your car and getting a 5 speed.

Wont springing for a new JWT ecu do the trick? Or even just doing a core swap with a 95 5 speed ecu from your local junk yard?

finally did some research

yes a 5 speed ecu or a new one i guess would do the trick...now the hardest part, finding someone to do this for me....I REFUSE TO give my car to dealership and no one wants a 8,000 dollar car....so best bet is converting...still asking if anyone knows how to do this
