It seems like you already had your mind made up when you asked

it really depends how committed you are to an auto right now i guess. cause you have to give up your harness, computer, cross member, flywheel, pedals, shifter, center console, and obviously trans. then you have to correctly install and wire up for a t56. clutch safety switch, speedo, reverse lights etc. i would also consider what gears are in the rear and if the bottom end is internal or external balanced. so, what do you want and how committed are you? i mean if you really want to shift, go manual valve body!!

I dont mind giving it up seeing half is out the car and who needs a clutch safety switch pshh lol. the rest of the wiring is all basic things. My 3.73s will be fine for gears, but when i upgrade the axel i'd be more prone to get 4.10s. Also its a stock bottom end and I will have a stock gm flywheel on the car if i go manual and I will also see if they used a different balencer. Everything else basically is set up to accept a manual, i just have to cut the hole in the tunnel.

If it's an auto, leave it that way.The money you were gonna spend on the swap will pay for alot of gas. If you don't like your trans look into one of the new 6 speed autos or add a Gear Vendors overdrive unit to your existing trans.
