Convert Automatic Transmission to Manual Transmission
Discussion
I'd be dubious about it being a proper conventional manual box with 7 gears.
It is possible, but would be very very unusual.
Find out more details about the trans first. If it is fully mechanical, then it will certainly be a lot easier than if it has lots of electronic control, or if it is part auto.

Modern cars,particularly GM products are a nightmare for this sort of thing,we did a 03 Vectra diesel a while back and apart from having to change the obvious stuff,
gearbox,clutch,flywheel,pedal box,linkage/lever assembly and shafts
we had to replace the engine bay and dashboard/bulkhead inner looms along with the instrument cluster,plus one auto specific module.
After all this we had to reconfigure most of the cars modules,including the heater a/c module and even the radio.
The bill was £2800 using mainly used parts on a then 6/7 year old car,
It`s just not worth it or easy any more.
I once bought a Cortina Crusader that was auto,I was 17 and hated it.
I went over the breakers and got the bits I needed for £75,I got up early on Monday morning and did the conversion on the road outside my sisters house with the nearside wheels on the path for clearance and was finished before the wardens came along and drove to work in it,those days are sadly long gone.
