the swaps are gonna come up with a new tranny so keep the car you have. it's not that hard to convert it.

but then i gotta get the cables and shiet for the clutch and my friend told me that it's better to have the car with a 5spd than to have it auto...

ya of course it's "better" to start off with a manual (well if yer hydro and convert to cable or vice versus it's still a pain.) but if you don't have that then start with what youve got. unless you can trade someone for a standard.

a lot of the places that sell swaps sell the stuff it takes to convert from auto to stick for another 2-600 bucks
