T-5 swap.

Is there any place where I can go and get rid of my automatic transmission and get a standard in my car?

Its very possible. You need a pedal assembly, tranny, clutch, flywheel, clutch cable, shifter and possibly a driveshaft (I can't remember off the top of my head at the moment). You will probably also need to cut a hole for the shifter(or enlarge the current one). Junkyard is the best place if you can find a 5speed so you can pull what you need. Although I would get a new clutch and flywheel at the same time.

I'm going to buy these parts. Like new. What year should I ask for?

They ask for year, model, make?

Just ask for whatever year yours is. And yes v6s came with them.

Its all about what you want. Its not exactly quick and easy, but if you want a 5 speed, its your car and you should build it to your enjoyment.

You will need a flywheel, bell housing, driveshaft, trans crossmember, clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, pedals, clutch cable, clutch fork, clutch fork pivot ball, cable quadrant, speed sensor from a 99 five speed car, and lots of tylenol or advil
