how much would paying someone + parts for a manual swap cost versus paying a shop for a new auto trans when mine will inevitably go out?

Depends on who you know and how cheap you can find the parts.

It was $600 for me to get a used auto trans into my car including fluids, labor, and the transmission.

could be either oil cooler hook ups, trans cooler hook ups, or not used at all.

they do add extra shit for just in case, like some of our cars use built in trans cooler lines on the radiator.

Why do you think your trans will go? Are you abusing it?

meh, i drive it kind of hard sometimes but it's just not shifting as smoothly as before. and i've heard numerous reports of the tranny going around 150k miles. that might be a little soon for me but if i was going to manual it wouldn't be too big of a deal wasting the miles it has left in it.

well i don't BEAT it. but i drive like a teenager..

;) definitely. i've kinda realized it's not worth performance modding my car knowing other stuff is going to be breaking. i really want a manual and i have a feeling my parents would support that and be willing to help me out. but yeah, we should talk at ipd perhaps :D
