Anyone here replaced their 5eat for a manual before on a BP5?

Apparently the 6mt won't fit without major mods to the transmission tunnel.
Better off buying a manual. I'm guessing the 6mt does fit the 5mt body...

What mods, other than custom cross member, are needed? From what I've seen, the 6MT is actually a tad smaller than the 5EAT...??? Narrower at least.
Apparently it's been done though, I was at AM Auto earlier this week and Al mentioned knowing of a BL that's had a conversion done. He couldn't give me any more info than that.

I would really like to know who has done a successful conversion on a gen4 and any info they can tell me about the procedure
