Default Transmission swap?
I have a 98 C5 Coupe, that is automatic. I was wondering if it would be worth it to have it changed to a 5 or 6 speed manual? If so, how much aproximately total and any recomendations?

I'm located in El Paso Texas.

Prob better to sell it and buy a manual if that is what you want IMHO.

If you can do all the work yourself it's probably $$ feasible if not, sell it and buy another one.

I would buy a later model 2001 and up.
