Has anyone ever converted a TR to a manual tranny?

Im not looking to debate it, I just want to know if it has been done or not. I've never seen one and am genuinely curious. That's all I'm asking for here. I'm not asking if it's better/worse/faster/slower/will stop earth's gravitational pull/rape small children and farm animals.
I'm not some n00b troll, just a TR guy asking other TR guys for a simple YES or NO answer?

YOU could have said Do a search & its been around a long time. Better to rephrase your answer as it did sound a bit aggressive IMO.

LOL, I didnt mean to come like that it's just something that I always wonder and whenever it' brought up in conversation it's dismissed out of hand.
I know that there are alot of downfalls to this but that's never stopped people before. lol

Wow this thread went down hill really fast
IIRC, someone put a manual tranny in their GN and hated it - the car didn't perform nearly as well as it did with the auto.
I would love to have a manual tranny in the GN, it'd be very fun to drive, I just don't think a lot of time has been spent in the R&D of a worthwhile conversion that will match up well with our cars. No one likes to be the guinea pig, especially when most people think "If it aint broke, dont fix it".

YES .. look at Supra's
That has always been my thinking when people say a manual wont work with our cars.

Supras rev quite a bit more than a stock LC2, not to mention the thrust bearing.

Plenty of info in that "one" thread that exists, don't bother searching for something other than "manual swap".
I seem to recall this was asked a few weeks ago in the transmission section: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/transmission-talk/264726-manual-tran-gn.html#post1991932
