Swap 6mt tranny to a 5at

My friend has an 03 6mt coupe and wants to swap me for my 03 5at.
I know there a lot of work that needs to be done but what do i have to look out for??? Do i need to swap wire harness??Swap Rear end??? It should be an easy swap since its going from car to car.
Any ideas??

Thanks

this is not an easy swap. It is far more intensive than you think. Labor alone will cost you between 2-5 grand depending on the shop (I know this is a wide range, but these are the high and low amounts people have paid).

If you do not have a heavily modded car you should forgetthis swap and stick with your car or get a different G

omg.. this has to be a joke.. i mean.. if this is a real question/thought that two, count them 2, people are having.. then theyre ****ing stupid..

but ok, lets assume its real....

+1,000,000 on just swapping cars

if the dude is your friend just get the titles and "lie" that you sold each other your cars for $100 dollars and be on your way..

FWI: if you do this swap, your cars will always have problems... and people will laugh at you for doing it instead of just swapping cars..
