Good luck with that. You're better off trading the car in on a manual.

that's just the begging of what you need. It's a big swap to get this done. Is it possible? Yes. Is it a smart and cheap thing to do? No.

I love my cfd shifter. Does it make it a manual no but I am shifting with just my right hand and have full control of which gear I am in which is really handy in lots of traffic. Use it 99% of the time.
