I'm not asking if they exist, because they do, and here is the article from Hot Rod magazine that talks about them.

So I'm thinking you have a point or perhaps a question.. What is it?

 

That if anyone wants a manual transmission in their LX car, they can now buy one that fits as well as the factory automatic, plugs right in, and looks good too.

 

Seems like it would be cheaper to trade for one of these "horse ball" Dodges out in the mkt. Any word on how much such a transplant costs all in?

 

You can get a price quote from here, but based on prices for other transmissions they have it is probably about $3000.00

That's cheaper than I thought but it's not ""all in" as there is transport and labor. If that's for a kit with all the bits and pieces it's a bargain. I suspect that's not the case. What do ya think?

 

It's a kit. You do the labor yourself.
I watched the video and did a little more reading on other sites, and it is a self install kit.
As I said, the price is a guess based on how much they are selling other transmissions for.
The second link will give a price quote.
Answering that many questions on a cellphone would make my head explode.
