Need Info on converting Auto to Manual trans.

Sup everyone? anyways i was wondering how hard is it to convert a automatic to manual transmission? What items do i need to if i wanted to convert my auto to manual trans? I am asking this because i am thinking that if my auto trans breaks and needs replacement, im gonna consider converting it to manual cuz that was what i really wanted to have in the first place...

Lots of little parts & tremendous amount of labor.  If you pay to have a shop do it, its probably not worth it.
 
Doing it yourself??
Possible start for your shopping list?
 
Several console parts around gearshift lever.
Gearshift lever & structural stuff around there.
Shift cables, with their brackets & etc.
Rear engine mount (below firewall) is different.
Tranny (duh)
Flywheel (& longer bolts for crankshaft)
Clutch & pressure plate & pilot bearing.
Brake/clutch pedal assembly.
Wiring for clutch-starter interlock, solenoids, etc.
Clutch master cylinder & hydraulic lines.
Possibly the starter is different?
ECU for manual, or learn what jumpers/connections to change.
 

Now that''s a shopping list that will keep you busy if your thinking of doing it ...not for me but for you maybe
