I would really like a manual. Most of my cars have been manual, the v6 is just a lot of fun to drive, even if it is automatic.
What would it take to swap in the 5 speed? Any links would be appreciated on builds or even just discussions. I imagine mounts, cables, pedal, cylinders, etc?

I plan on running headers, catless down, 2.5" back to a DNX 3" muffler. I had the DNX on my first alero, and I loved the rumble it gave with the v6. And I'll probably order the upgraded throttle body with the motor. Pretty stoked that I'll have money for it as soon as tax returns drop.

Edit: Used the search. Found info here: http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showt...ht=getrag+swap
