how hard would it be to make an automatic into a stick shift?

Its not hard,but you gotta spend a lot of $$$.

whats the hardest part? im going to be doing it myself. whats the most expensive thing?

Tranny and then clutch as far as most expensive.

^The hardest part is gathering all the parts and cutting the firewall for the clutch pedal.

What car?
What motor?
Get ready to do a lot of searching on what parts you need.

Its not hard with a hole saw. It makes a good clean cut. I have done quite a few and gathering the pieces is the hardest part. Everything bolts up. So you should be able to do it no problem.

what about running shift linkage hard or no?

I know a guy that might have pretty much all you need: pedal, shifter, linkage, clutch cable, CV bracket, CVs. I think he was goin to keep the tranny though. Not sure. If you need that stuff let me know, I'll ask him.

i have enought parts for you to almost have everything you will need tranny and clutch. i have the linkage. i have to look . i also have a cut out of extacly where you need to cut for your clutch line..

The linkage is easy. It just bolts up to the shifter and then to the tranny. It goes through the hole in the floor.
