How much does it cost to do a 6 speed conversion?

Default 6 speed conversion

I would also be interested in people's experience in the area....of 6 speed conversions.

Adobian, I do know that you'll need to add to the cost of the transmission the cost of both front CV axles. These are different for Autos and Manuals. That right there is 400 in parts alone. Assuming you get Raxles.

there were no symptoms before the failure. this car was maintained properly, making the loss of the tranny confusing to me. really wondered why i was told once or twice that the autos on these cars were garbage, until now..may visit that link on the conversion

What exactly failed on your transmission? No forward or reverse at all?
