Automatic to Stick?

I bought a 2007 cobalt LS a little over a year ago and unfortunately my father wouldn't co-sign for a manual. I was curious if it is possible to turn my transmission into a manual and how much something like that's going to run me?

a manual conversion is possible, but it is pretty expensive. a friend of mine did it to his scion tc, he spent around 4k in parts and labor.

Im sure he got charged out the ass on labor, but even if you do it your self it really is to much of a hassel to be worth it.

Just get the B&M shiftkit. If just want the whole manual driving experience, then go ahead, but if you're worrying from a performance standpoint, then you're fine with a b&m or a tune from trifecta.
