03 Auto to 6MT conversion?

Is it possible to do this? I'm a Honda and know what all is needed to do this conversion in a Honda and presume that it takes the same things to do it to the G...

Transmission
Mounts
Harness (possibly modify?)
Pedal assy
ECU (computer)
Shift Linkage
Center console?

I'm asking b/c I'm buying an auto G this weekend. The tranny is strong and shifts aggressively but there's nothing like a manual...

Yes, but it is expensive.

Why don't you just wait and buy a manual instead? It will be cheaper and less of a hassle then doing a conversion.

Manuel has a different final drive and they come with vlsd, if you wanted to swap everything. and probably a different drive shaft, if i'm not mistaken

once you add everything up its gonna be expensive unless you bargain hunt the hell out of this project. its possible and actually not as bad as everyone thinks but these cars are getting so cheap in the down economy you would be better off just looking around for a cheap manual. put this trani swap money into some forced induction
