can i convert my geo tracker from auto to manual trans?

Question by EpicRacer: can i convert my geo tracker from auto to manual trans?
my 97 tracker 4dr came with a 4spd auto. i want the 5 spd manual in it, is this possible? it is 4wd
second question- can this be done by a weekend warrior? my friend is a mechanic and and has a buddy with suzuki samauri, so he has experience with this hardware
the tracker had an option for the 5spd manual. it costs around 0-400.

would it require any modification? i was optimistic and thought maybe i could just drop the auto out and install the manual in its place, with little modding. shouldnt all the shafts be the same length?
i would not trade this car for a manual version. i bought it off a friend for 0, a super deal for its condition

Best answer:

Answer by Batman
Sure, just going to cost you the price of a transmission and probably two drive shafts and a little finagling.
