Can i swap Auto for Manual Tranny?

I am about to buy a 93 RX7 but it is automatic, the only reason im still looking at it is b/c of the price! So would i be able to swap the automatic for a manual trannny. If so who has done this? And how much did it cost?Thanx you

i hear it can be done but it generally isn't worth it and if you know you want a manual, buy a manual

maybe if the auto was 50% less than a 5speed...

something about different bell housing? joining trans to eng. means bolts don't line up

think some searches will answer your Q faster

Yes is can be done. I did mine a year ago, and it was worth every cent! Everything bolts right up, the hardest part is finding all the parts.

If you want a manual, buy it. Don't buy an auto.

Apparently there was one started, but the link is dead. I'm sure the owner of the link could help out.

For the money you will spend doing a auto to manual swap it will be more cost efficient to just buy thr manual and be done with it.
