Bellmark figure....
gearbox - $100 approx (more or less) - depends where you go
pedals - you need to change from automatic to manual - I'd say about $20
Drive Train - $60 as automatic and manual are different.
Flywheel - $30
Clutch Plate kit (new) $225
gear shifter assembly $20
Plus mechanic's labor - depends which mechanic you gotta ask average price is $80hr, to complete the job will be all days worth.
ECM will need to be changed to manual version or something - im not sure.

prices on the boxes vary depending on FWD or AWD and like AP has said, where ever you find one :)

I've paid upto $500 for a box :(
