Automatic -> Manual
Can this be done easily? I'm looking into a car for a good price that needs a new engine but its an automatic. Would it be a big hassle to swap a manual transmission in there at the same time? Can they still be had new from Mazda or would I have to get a used one? Price range? Thanks.

actually if you find a good auto, it is less expensive to do the conversion then buy a 5 spd....
My experience....
8,000 for car.
349 for clutch
420 for all other items
8,769.00 pretty reasonable if you ask me.
And yes i was very patient in doing this, and most importantly i did it myself. If you do not plan to do this conversion yourself, please do not even consider getting an auto, for that matter an RX7.

I'm parting out my 5 spd '93 Touring. If you are interested in the parts, PM BanzaiToyota. He is the guy handling the car now since I'm moving to Portugal in a few months. Hope that helps. Laterz.
