Im in the same boat bro, im 17, and i got the auto too. But i saw a thread a while ago and someone swapped to manual and its VERY costly. I cant remember the exact price but i remember over 6 grand. So we're kinda S.O.L.

def not worth swapping from auto to manual. Better to sell and buy a manual.

The swap I think is about 8k or something like that. +/- 1-2K depending on the clutch being installed. https://g35driver.com/forums/forced-induction/162072-my-car-s-5at-6mt-conversion.html

Yeah that's way expensive, I rather keep the 5AT and build it if anything, I'm running the stock block and stock tranny right now, just a torque converter and vb upgrade with a supercharger, loving it!! Not worth the money swapping to a manual In My Opinion.
