i went to the dealer and ask them around how much would it be to make it possible and they told me some crazy numbers like around 7K-10K. . . so i was wondering if any one had any ideas. . . i know its alot but looking if there might be a better price out there. thanks

Not worth it, just sell it and buy a Manual.

Never ever is it worth it to do a conversion like that. Especially on a BRAND new car. Keep it.

Why would you buy an auto when you wanted a manual in the 1st place?

Just shift your CVT like it's a manual and drive it like you stole it. Then you have the best of both worlds.

ya thats what i was thinking just sell it if any thing or stay with it..... and i didnt get manual cause i had got in a bad reck with 350Z and totaled it and had a rental for only a month and towards the end of the month is when they finally told me it was totaled. so i went looking for a manual down here in miami and they didnt have any at all the closest one was in Tenn. and they told me that at 8 dealers that i went to. then i was stuck with out a car and had to go to work and school. so i couldnt order one and wait 2 months. . . so i just got the CVT. i just really miss redline launches. so off the line is nowhere near the same.

Offer a dealer a trade in agains't the exact model but in manual, it's gona cost you ~3000$ since he'll have to sell it "used"
