quick answer, nope. There is quite a bit of modding involved to get the manual to work. There is a thread out there that is following a guy currently doing it. I dont' have it right now, maybe someone else does.

You either need the SS M90 kit from ZZP or do a top end swap (strip it down to the short block and rebuild the top with L67 parts).

top swap will run between 500-1000 depending on how good you are at sourcing out parts

i just did the ZZP M90 swap. its not a hard job but my car was down for 3 weeks cause of all the bull that comes with it. best advice is decide on what you want to do, engine swap, top swap and devote time to it, research everything. the money i spent on gaskets and next day shipping i coulda put a L32 in with a gen 5. oh well live and learn

I am currently doing the six speed swap, and you can count on spending at least $3000. Grand Prixs Of North America :: View topic - Noah Brainard's (njbrain) Six-Speed Swap Progress Thread
