it wouldnt be worth it
theres an electronic device you can get to stiffen you shifts up...you will do just as well on the track as an average manual driver or better
im sure somone with an auto can help ya on the name of the shift improver, as i cant think of it

Along with what everyone else said, a move like that is only worth it on older cars where the parts can be found readily and cheap or on a car that has been worked on and owned for a while. I did it once and it was a lot more trouble then I thought worth.

definately more time, money, and effort then it would be worth...i mean lets face it..you dont have a street machine...just get a shiftkit or trade in for a manual if its that important to you

if you want to change your auto to manual just trade it in. i was going to do the same thing so i talked to my parts department and the techs and they said it usually costs like around 3 grand for the transmission. then you have to buy the clutch the master cylinder and all this other bullshit. so it will be around 4500 to 6000 grand to acutally be done. so i was like **** that. i'd rather turbo my car for that much. **** i will go buy another cobalt with that money. so the smarter way is to trade it in.....

Its a bitch to swap out a tranny...we did it on a 2nd gen Cav before...not fun. But I had this shift kit thing on my Cav Z24 and I loved it. Definitely made the fun much more fun to drive.
