Manual swap shop?

Hello,

I am looking for a shop to do a manual swap on my 2009 n54. Does anybody have a shop recommendation? Preferably in the bay area.

Thanks

I have not had any experiences as I already have a manual car but I would imagine that Edge Motorsport might be more receptive to the work as they do a lot of custom/racing applications.

Your better off getting a car with a manual gear box. Mucho hassle trying to swap out form At to Manual.
