Auto/Stick conversion

Hey Gang,
Does anyone have thoughts on the difficulty and/or expense of changing an automatic transmission with a 5 speed?
I may have an opportunity to get a '94 RX with everything I'd like except the stick. Great price, too.

Lemme know what y'all think (please).

not that diffiult for a experience mechanic...and price depends on mechanic also but guessing a few thousand like around 2,000 i could be wrong.

i'll say it before anyone else does. if you wanted a manual, shoulda bought you a manual. i have an auto too, rather than blow my money on a swap (in the 2-3K range) i'd rather just put that money to selling my rx7 and buying a manual one. alot of hassle? yeah, but it can't be any harder than having the swap done or doing it yourself. drop 3k to get a manual swap. okay you got a manual now. you drop 3k on an rx7, auto or stick, you got some serious ****.
