Make sure you go to a experience workshop. My friend's iswara convert from Auto to Manual. On one night, he could not engage to reverse, 1st and 2nd gears. Luckily I was there with him, if not he is sleeping with the mosquitos.

prepare around 2k to 3k for the auto-to-manual conversion
...or maybe more than that I did B16A auto-to-manual conversion before a few years ago...here's the list - ecu re-chip ...................................RM350 - manual gearbox (2nd hand) ...........RM1500 - flywheel (2nd hand) .......................RM180 - cluth cover/disc (2nd hand) ............RM350 - clutch cable ...................................RM60 - 2pcs gearbox mounting ..................RM110 total = rm2550 not yet including labour charge, and other side expenses like flywheel skimming, gearbox oil, manual paddles, etc...
