Airborne already said it would be in the $4000 - $5000 range. Yes a new clutch is needed and new axles. However, this setup would be good for 300+whp. I would LOVE to do this. I am already stuck with having to do an auto/manual swap. Why the hell not spend an extra couple grand to be original? Not to mention, wouldn't this help out with top end speed?

damn i thought it would be a little cheaper cuz didn't someone say the FTO 6speed swap was only like 3-4k?

Finally, the third and perhaps most appealing option is swapping into a 6 speed manual transmission!! Yes, we have a way to do it. Mitsubishi's FTO (only available in Japan) has a 6 speed manual transmission that will bolt up to our block. Now, we don't live in a perfect world so this isn't a direct swap. You'll have to get new axles, clutch, pumps, and some other miscellaneous stuff. Changing the additional items out really bumps up the cost. The good thing is that this transmission is STRONG. Not exactly sure how much power it would hold, but it should be able to take a beating. Best thing is you won't have to rev your engine so high when you're cruising down the highway.
I don't have any exact pricing at this time, but the forged gears should run somewhere around $2500-$3500 and the 6 speed trans with everything would probably be around $4000-$5000. Shipping not included.

Probably not worth it if you have a manual. Still worth it if it's an auto to manual swap. You'd need all that stuff anyway.
