    Default VE Omega Auto to Manual Conversion

    I am over my auto and have been driving a few of my mates manuals. they say i have manual fever haha.

    Does anyone know how much this would cost and if it is not too hard to do?

    not probably, definitely.
    then it'll NEVER be as good or reliable as something already from factory.
    cost wise (besides the thousands in labour and parts) you'll need to get it all engineered and documented properly for insurance and registration purposes. then, because the car has been modified in such a manner some insurance companies wont like it.

    long story short, there's a reason people dont do it.... it's not worth it, not by a long shot.

    sell your omega, get an sv6 manual, and as a 'freebie' you'll get a body kit and a much more reliable (and onsellable later comparing to chopping up an omega) car.

    so to answer your question:

    Thousands, and hard to do properly.
