I might get a 2007 Mustang V6 Coupe. I was wondering if it was possible to convert it from automatic transmission to manual. If so does anyone know how much it might cost and/or who might do it in Southern CA?

ummm, bout $900 less than what your paying, and just get the manual to begin with.

otherwise it would cost too much money, transmission, wiring harness, computer, labor, possibley a mount, console area around shift, shifter, etc etc.

Then to answer your question you are probably lookin around 2-3k is my guess, and then probably voiding lots of your pwoertrain warranty.

oh and i left out a new driveshaft.

Have them get one for from another dealer. They will do what they have to in order to earn your business, make them work for you, it's their job.

it is surprisingly hard to find a stick v6. i had the same problem and they had to bring one in from indiana. i waited and im glad i did, you should wait too....but if you do end up going auto then manual, don't get the stock 5-speed it is not great. get a t56 ;)

If you want a manual, wait and get a manual.
It's not worth it to try to swap it out, and yeah, your warranty will be voided.
You can get an auto and tune it to kick ass...

I got a manual after I drove a girl's 05 auto...I hated the way it shifted, and canyon driving was no fun...it never shifted when I wanted it to, and when it did, it wasnt a gear that I wanted...
