I get that there are those that want manual shifted transmissions …….but that 6L80E transmission is what makes the LS swap so amazing .
Most guys that just Have to Have a manual tranny go with a Hemi , they work .
The tap shift feature allows you to hold a gear with the 6L80E if that is your concern , it won't shift unless you allow it to , if properly set up .
To answer your question about Bruiser , well a close friend had them do a swap and it was done so poorly that he finally sold it and had Robbie do another one .

Again... I agree. I have a four door JK and my buddy has an LJ. We both had Robbie do LS3 and 6L80 conversions with tap shifters. The tap shifters are basically overrides that allow us to utilize our transmissions as manuals. If you are hardcore set on staying with the stick.. then economically andafor ease of a build- the hemi would probably fit your needs better.
