if the car is already obd1 and your changing it to a gsr obd1 swap , other then running vtec and knock wires its basically plug n play… and doing the changeover from auto to manual is very simple, iv done it a good 5-6 times ---

Doing a full gsr swap and manual conversion to the car would be rather pointless as it would cost $3000 for the swap, another $100-$200 in conversion parts, and then labor on top. It would be cheaper and easier in the end to just sell the auto LS teg and buy a gsr teg. ---

You can get a used LS tranny from $300-500 and probably another $150 or so for the linkage, shifter and tranny mount and pedals. Then you need to worry about a clutch, stock replacement won’t hold on too long with a turbo. You could just pick up 1 of the kits on egay with a shitty stage 3 clutch and alum flywheel for $250 and be good. So looks like your spendin between $650-900 for a manual swap. just look around and piece it together over time after you find deals on these parts. Im sure people will help ya out with the linkage, shifter and pedals and all that crap on here. maybe even find a used performance clutch and a stock flywheel on here too. If your lucky you could probably do it for about $500 or less. ---

I think I will just tell him to clean it up and sell it. and save for something that already has a swap or turbo ---
