Most don't recommend a swap to the early C4 DNE4+3 trans worthwhile
The T56 from a F-Body is another alternative involving more work

You are way better off just selling your car and getting a stick, because no matter how nice of a job you do the car is still hacked.

I was just curious what all was involved, if the work is quality I don't agree that it's hacked, I'm doing the car the way I want to enjoy it, not a restoration. But upon looking into the manual swap it was just way to involved, so it's already at the trans shop getting the auto rebuilt.

I put a C4 trans into a Merkur XR4TI and it was a PITA getting the C4 and the bellhousing and making a trans mount for it.
