how big of a project is it to swap a auto tranny to a 6 spd on an LS1?

i'm looking into buying a T/A or Camaro and i see A LOT more autos than manuals but I want the manual.

Here's a swap I did. It's not too bad, how much you know about Wiring and how much work have you done..

Same here, my car does not leave my possesion for someone else to molest it.

All work, is done by me. . . . Well, welding has to be done at work, since I have no welder at home yet.


P.S. Nice write up!

I got $2793 in my swap. That includes the rear gear swap, new clutch and flywheel, new hydraulics, new console top and boots, not much used stuff. I did all the work myself.

The transmission had about the same mileage as my car at the time, around 32,000. I checked the vin on the car it came out of compared to what was stamped on the trans. Then I ran a carfax, it was listed totalled at 32,000 miles.
Found the deal in the classifieds here and drove to pick it up so I could see it all.

The wiring isn't that difficult, all the stuff at the pedals plugs right in, A4 to M6 wiring has the same plug ends with just a few more wires. The neutral safety wire is easy, and I added two pins to the ECM for the cruise and reverse lockout to work. Kept the A4 harness untouched so it can be swapped back.
