ok, I'll try to give a list...
besides just the tranny,
- possibly a new brake master cyliner (clutch and brake use the same reservoir).
- possibly a new slave cylinder if the tranny does not come with one.
- new throwout bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate, clutch plate
- possibly a new flywheel and/or starter
- new clutch pedal assembly
- new brake pedal assembly to go with the clutch
- new wiring harness for the clutch assembly (safety start feature and cruise control turn off)
- possibly a new driveshaft (if the length of the trannies are different)
- new instrument cluster (if you want to get rid of the PRNDL even if it works)
- possibly a new center console (or fab something if the hole for the shift lever are not the same)
- recode the ECU
- don't know if anything else involved in unplugging the tip shift module.
All that plus labor, if you don't do the work youself. I would personally go with Don's suggestion if I were in your shoes.
HTH,
Bert

Re: just get an manual car
"I invested 12k in my car Im not selling it..."
HA, remember these aren't collector cars, so don't go putting money into a car and think it's an investment ;-)
If you want a manual, just get another car with a manual, I'm sure you can swap out your upgraded parts to the new car. If you don't want to go that route, get a GIAC Tip-chip.
