Worth it? Oh hell yes... But a donor parts car is the BEST way to do it. Cuts down on the cost of buying everything individually.
ok so i sould get one from the junk yard or sumthin? and im not exactly sure on how to do the conversion by myself so are there any sites that might help me understand how to do it and what to do?

All I am going to say is to search around this site, there are several posts buried through this sites history. I'm not personally going to tell you anymore than I have because if it were made soo simple, everyone would be wanting to do. I've had to do my own fair share of spending hours digging and searching.
g'luck.
not worth it in my opinion
from fabbing up the mounts, pedal assembly, linkage, shafts
just buy a car with a manual in it
Or spend a grand and get a built auto w/ custom converter. Thats what I'm doing. I still wish I could slam the clutch and downshift though...
Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.
ok that was what i was leaning towards anyway but what brand and where can i get a custom auto tranny??
