I spent a full year doing research but honestly the hardest part is sourcing parts. You gotta have patience but in the end I was able to do my swap in 14 hours and we ran into no real issues due to the amount of research done. Its all nuts and bolts in the end. Its cheap too if you can sell back the auto tranny to get back the money you spent. I had a net loss of $500 and now I have a tranny with 80k less miles on it, gas milage is up a full 8mpg and power and torque are very noticably up. The weight is down, handling is up, cleaner look under the hood, and it is night and day difference in fun to drive. Its a blast to go drive now! If you really want it then you can accomplish it.
