hey to answer your question simply about 5grand i've answered one of your questions before about your car, you'll need a box clutch kit, dual mass fly wheel, stick, pedal set up, tailshaft and you'll need to tell the ECU through the TECH2 that it's a manual. Look it's not going to do anything to ya car mate you'll just burn clutches out sounds like your a hoon. To tell ya the truth the Auto's go better than the manuals as in a manual you have a fly wheel and that transfer of torque through the crank is not really good for them ecotech motors on start up as you'll hear it as a loud chirp through the tensioner on your drive belt. In auto's you have a torque convertor and pressure plate which takes up this torque before it goes through the crankshaft. Ya silly if ya do i only recommend this for GEN3 V8's. That's what ya should've got in the first place buddy.How much does it cost to change a car from automatic to manual?
it will cost you more than the car is worth you would be better off starting over again with a new car
You would be looking at a few grand for a gBox, but its not that easy. You will possibly have to change the wiring to the gbox as well as change the computer to work with a manual box, you may also have to get the tail shaft shortened of lengthened. Not to mention the hassel of installing an extra peddle.

It is a big job even on less complicated older cars. Being a fairly new car i would look at taking your mods off it and selling it as a standard car and buying a manual ute. There is a fairly big selection of manual utes around, (see carsales.com.au), and put your mods back on that ute. It may cost u a few grand sell and buy a new ute but, by a very very long shot the easiest way, and may still end up costing you less than buying gbox's and computers and auto elecrics ect...
mainly it is a self shopjob, it takes a little labor boring holes, clutch cylinder hookup. changing out steering column if applicable, installing clutch pedal, if bracket exeist under dash. most us cars have the brackets and firewall mountings for both auto and manual. but i would not know about yours.
