I to have also been tempted to change mine to a manual seams to be way to expensive though $2500  . Why don't you buy a car with a manual transmission when you are ready for your next one.

To take an LS1 to manual, you are looking at around 4-5k, thats with everything matching, not sure how things would go with the 6...

I think holden used the same auto box vy/vz so maby you'd be lucky with the manual being the same. I have a feeling though the vy box was a getrag and the vz a asian box or something like that?
Good luck with it
