nope, bell housing is different. you don't want to try and do that anyways. converting an automatic to a standard is quite an undertaking. it's much easier to convert a standard to automatic. sick

i wanted to do the same thing, just cause its alot funner to drive, but like he said to much work, and remember the AUTO is faster when racing, get yourself a nice shift kit you'll be happy..
