Manual trans swaps: Cheapest vs Easiest vs Best Performing vs Best Driving Experience

It all depends on where and how you drive, what you expect, and yes everything costs money. LIke already said OEM is cheapest and it works for me. I much prefer banging gears. I have had all versions of OEM and have enjoyed them all in everything from slants to 440's and all in between. Even pulled the car trailer with a 1 /2 ton, slant 4 spd. OD for a while once!!
