I seriously want to be driving a stick shift, buuuut my car is an automatic. I wanna swap but man people keep telling me it's not worth it. I assume the estimated cost would be about 2,000 from what I researched, a mechanic would do it. Should I just wait then buy a manual car?

actually no... 2,000 is ridiculous. I just did this this weekend. The parts should be around 600-700. Then it depends where you go to get it done, or do it yourself with the help of some kick ass friends.

you need to search harder

yea 700 sounds about right, if you get a mechanic to do it though it will be 2k like you said, not worth it... just buy a stick

I can't do it myself it's way to complicated for my tiny brain, lol. My kick ass friends don't even know how to turn on my car... lol. Well buying a stick car would be a good 30k. I'm buying either a 2006 Impreza STI or Lancer Evo IX. I will keep researching, to bad I live in Miami everything here is a ripoff.
