Cost would be impossible to predict as many of the parts will only be found used. Your best course of action would be to find a complete autostick car with a basket case body. If I recall correctly you will need, the complete transaxle including the torque converter, clutch servo and related hoses and controls, the special double oil pump for the engine with all it's plumbing and reserve oil tank. Then you would need the peddle cluster and the gear shift with the microswitch and all it's wiring.

The end result would be a car with less power, not as fun to drive and a reduced resale value. There may be a valid medical reason you want to do this though.
