    do it your self... ive been wanting to do mine.. but its a hard game finding a conversion for a good price.. a reco T5 can set you back anything up to $3000 just for the box.. you can buy a 2nd hand box for around $1000 but theres no guarantee you will be buying a good gearbox.

    Most the conversions seem to go for around $1500 on ebay but your taking a chance buying a used box.

    I looked at doing mine ages ago, but all that fiddling around with adding a new pedal for the clutch, and stuff, i got a quote from my mechanic to do it for me.

    If you have someone that you trust, or comes highly recommended from someone you trust, go and get a quote from them to do it.

    What State are you in by the way?
