I don't know myself. I just want to know how much it would cost and everything to change the transmission to manual.

He hasn't picked it up yet? Then why buy it at all if he doesn't want it? Sounds like BS but what do I know

Auto to manual swaps usually consist of:
Transmission (obviously)
Clutch disc/pressure plate/flywheel
Hydraulics (either OEM hardlines or SS braided lines)
Clutch master and slave cylinders
6MT brake pedal (may be combined with gas in a single pedal, or by itself or if everything else is the same and just the pedal arm/pad is sold may be able to just swap that one part)
Clutch pedal assembly

Specifics, I've never looked at a 6AT so I'm not sure if there's a hole/plate on the firewall where the CMC would go, or if you'd have to drill it.

Also it's likely (but not a 100% bet) that the driveshaft is different as well (length, or input shaft going into the trans).

Also, 6AT ECU may not operate without the 6AT's sensors working, or wiring work to bypass all that, so it may need a 6MT ECU.

Wiring for common sensors in the trans may also be different.

Trans mount may also be different.



Cliff notes: There is almost no reason to justify this swap on a car this new without a ready supply of pre-owned parts. Sell the 6AT if you get it for that crackrock price and buy a 6MT car.
