auto to manual swap!

hey guys i was just wondering if you can swap an automatic transmission to a manual transmission, i have a 2010 7at g37 but i really want a manual now... but since i just bought the car, trading it in wouldnt be so smart so i was just gonna do a tramsmission swap if that was possible??:/ and if it is possible, how much will it be about??

you would honestly be better off trading it in and taking the hit then trying to swap the trans.. its just way too involved and would end up costing you more then just getting a new car IMO

It's not even worth considering for any modern car. Trade it in for a manual.

Just remind yourself that you have a G37, not a 98 Honda Civic.

It's been done on a G35 if I'm not mistaken. Check out g35 driver forums. I'm sure it's pretty involved though.
