i was wondering if i can get peoples insight on the cost of converting an e30 automatic to 5 speed. i see many nice e30's and get extremely sad when i see it's an auto. is it worth buying an e30 and converting it to manual or better off just looking for 5 speeds. I do not have the luxury of having a garage or a good friend who has an auto shop so i would need to have a shop do it all. I expect the Labor to be many hours which means lot's of money. anybody know the rough estimate cost on that labor? that's if i can scavenge out a good tranny somewhere for cheap. Any insight and words of advice will be much appreciated. Thanks
