go trade in your car for one or the other. Comes out much cheaper. Your going to get hit with a major loss either way.

NAH...
Be proud of your auto, I'm altering mine to shift by the accel/decel
cruise button. It can hold the gear, so you can drift it and storm the back roads. I regularly pass the 6mt models on our club drives, it's all about learning to make the auto work with you.
Do you have limited slip? If not switch to it using the Nismo unit for cost effectiveness and you have a quicker accelerating gear ratio due to your ring and pinion gear replacement!

What a sleeper.

if you are very serious about it i have a mechanic in ny that does these all day long on maximas. he swaps out the tranny, pedals, shifter, everything and it comes out absolutely flawless. he charges about 1000 labor on the maxima - plus the cost of the transmission and all the parts. they are pretty plentiful for a maxima, 350 may be a bit more expensive though.

Should have just started off with a manual. I guess you can do a trade in for a manual. instead of paying for the whole parts and labor.

that's not worth the time or money to do. just sell the car and buy a standard.
