Transmission swap question...

This past July I had bought a used 2004 coupe with 80k miles on it. Very nice condition with 1 owner and service records and oil changes every 3k miles for $14k. I needed a car badly because the one I had was no longer running and I had no way of commuting to work. I really wanted a g35 so I bought this one. However, I am a bit unhappy with the auto tranny in it and was curious if it would be too expensive to take out the auto and make it a 6mt. I know it can be done.... just wasn't sure if it's quite worth it or not. I love the car to death otherwise. If you have a lot of insight on this, I can usually be reached through email or AIM. ugrhonor@aim.com

Thanks in advance

SEARCH. It is labor intensive, and fairly complicated. You'd be better to upgrade your VB and driving in manual mode.
