how much $$$ ??

[lapopo]

A friend of me just bought a nice m3 95, he got it for a very low price cause it's an automatic...it's a niiiiiiiiice car but it'll be so much nicer if It has an Manual transmission

we were thinking if it was possible to make a transmission swap and if yes how much money would it cost ? no shop is open on week-end, it's the reason I ask here !

what do ya think ?

thanks !
(sorry if my english is not good enough)

$1500?

that sounds about right. Depends on labor costs though, obviously much cheaper to do it yourself

1500? where do you get that? I paid a shop that much to replace my clutch and new transmission mounts. (90 and hour for labor + parts) surely the same shop would charge more for an entire transmission swap. and yes doing it yourself will be cheaper but quite the project.

^^^ you payed that?? my cluch job with new guibo, exhaust gaskets and misc little parts cost me $600.

i'm pretty darn sure $1500 is parts alone.
