Default auto-5 speed swap

i was wondering if a car that was converted fromauto to 5 speed is going to be any different...will everything work just as good as if done from factory, anything i should worry about? or is it better to buy a car with a 5-speed from factory

if you are buying one why not just buy a 5-speed?

its rediculous to spend 1500+ dollars on doing that swap unless doin a better engine swap also......due to the fact that you'll lose 500+off kelley blue book because it will then be a stick

so simple intelligence results in 1500+ + 500+ out of pocket just so you can shift faster

it isnt worth it

the reason i asked is because i might be buying an auto car but the guy has all the parts to do the conversion...i was wondering if i should buy the car and convert it, or should i keep looking for a manual and pay more in the end

If you are not good with tools or do not have a good friend then buy what you want to drive.
