What do you want? There's a toatlly different parts list needed for the 6mt.
6mt:
6mt tranny mount
Auto driveshaft (or just prop shaft)
stub axles and seals: Axle stubs - 38415AA110 and circlips 805329010 (can't find the seal part #)
6mt shift linkage and knob
6mt clutch and flywheel
WRX or STi slave cyl(maybe, my car was a cable to start with so I'm not sure)
3.90 rear diff, unless you already have one. The '07 6mt uses the 3.545 rear diff
A diff controller is a good idea. It sucks running w/out a controller in the winter
hmmmmmm, I think thats it.

The 6MT transmission alone would probably cost more than 1k. The wiring to put it in is a big pain in the side as well. Might as well just go with the WRX 5MT. They're cheap and easy.

The wiring is only a pain if you have to use any of that crap. The speedo sensor is easy. What else is there, the O2 sensor wiring? I don't know because I didn't use any of that crap. Zeitronix ftw...
I'd say the rough going rate for a decent 6mt is around $3k, and what you pay for the necessary parts can vary a lot by who you know.
