Default Switch from Automatic to Manual transmission??

I have a 1999 XJ with automatic transmission. I REALLY want (have wanted from the beginning) an XJ with Manual transmission. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how much it would be and maybe a parts list if possible. Thanks for any input, PONYBOY

Easier to just buy one. I bought my 97 with a 5 speed for about $2600

Not worth the money and the headaches to do the swap.

im planing on doing a 4x4 conversion would it be worth it to just get a manual tranny for it while im at it and just buy all the shifter parts that i would need with it?

Edit: i have a 96 2wd

X2, If someone were unintelligent enough to decide to do the swap, the best bet would be to buy a XJ with a manual, that way at least you would have all the parts, and not have to be running to the parts store all the time.
