* No readily available manual transmission parts: Finding a suitable manual transmission and all the associated parts (clutch, flywheel, pedal assembly, linkage, hydraulics, driveshaft, etc.) specifically for a 1994 Probe GT is extremely difficult. Many parts are no longer produced and used parts are often worn or damaged.
* Extensive fabrication and modification: Even if you find the parts, significant modifications to the chassis and engine bay would likely be required. This includes potentially modifying the transmission tunnel, creating mounts for the clutch mechanism, and possibly modifying or replacing the driveshaft.
* Wiring harness changes: The automatic transmission's wiring harness is different from the manual's. You'll need to rewire sections of the car, potentially requiring a skilled auto electrician.
* Computer reprogramming (likely): The car's computer may need to be reprogrammed or bypassed to accommodate the manual transmission.
* Cost prohibitive: The cost of sourcing parts, labor (if you're not doing it yourself), and potential fabrication work could easily exceed the value of the car itself.
In short: While theoretically possible, the practical challenges and costs make converting a 1994 Ford Probe GT from automatic to manual a very daunting and likely uneconomical project. It's far more realistic to simply find a Probe GT that already has a manual transmission.
