Was it worth it......... Totally. Now by see first hand the differnce from a auto to manual. Hands down the car was meant to be a manual.

I did my conversion about June 03

My costs on the auto to manual conversion!
This is what i spent on parts

*Tranny - $555 its a 95 with 33,000 miles and 90 day warranty
*driveshaft - $97
*4.1 diff rear end - $255
*93 5 speed ECU - $60
*Guage cluster,brake and clutch pedal,master and slave cylinder,hard pipe - $250
*New ACT Street/strip clutch and 9.5lbs flywheel- $900
*Mazdatrix short shifter - $218

Total parts =$2335

There is also bolts ,rear main seal and o ring, inner boot for shifter
And i have to supply diff fluid and tranny fluid,brake fluid

I ended up paying $1000 for labor

Total cost is around $3500

I've done the conversion.

Everything bolted up, and the only rewiring required was to bridge the inhibator switch for the automatic transmission.

My converted car worked without issue on the automatic ECU.

The hardest bit of the conversion is the pedal boxes.

The Automatic transmission weighs at least twice that of teh automatic box, so there are weigh saving advantages too.
