Switching from auto to manual
 

I also realize I might have to settle with an automatic transmission, and am just wondering what would be involved with installing a manual tranny. What would you guys go for (taking top speed and accel into consideration), a 4 speed or a 5 speed? I know I'll need the cables, actual shifter, etc, but what trannies bolt right up (and what car can I get them from) and where would I find the actual shift lever and what not? Thanks!
