Some *****

I did the conversion.

You'll need the following.

Bell Housing - Manual
Clutch Package & Pilot Bushing
Master Clutch Unit and mounting Braket
Slave
Manual Torque Tube with shifter rod
Shifter
Tranny wiring Harness
6 Spd Tranny (MN6 or M12) (M12 is Z06)
3.42 Differential

Inside
Clutch & Brake Pedal Assy (I have a set) $100
Shifter Boot
Shifter Cover

You'll need to run a few wires and switches and reprogram your PCM.

It would probably be much less expensive for your friend to resell his C5 and pick up one with an M6, as I know the shipping gets downright expensive over to the Middle East.
RPM Transmissions has been doing manual to automatic swaps for people, so they would more than likely have the manual parts there that would be required. I know they are currently doing a conversion on a C6 that is then coming to me for a ProCharger install. Bob

Any cost estimated for all of this??

Thanks

Thanks Bob and your right shipping is very damn expensive.

I will talk to the owner if he still want to do the swap I will talk to RPM For sure.

Really depends on the condition of what you buy and what upgrades you need based on your power out put.
