Yes sir, sure do.

*EDIT* We-Todd isn't responding. I'll have a picture up later.
If you look at your tranny from the front, you'll see 2-3 hole.. That's where the mount connects too.

So, I have the possibility of buying everything from the transmission to the shifter off of a 98' EX for $275. Seems like a good deal and hard to pass up.

But can anyone tell me how much of a b!tch it's going to be to get it to fit in my '95? Is this possible?

Fit in the car to carry it home?

Or fit to make everything work on your car?

Everything will fit in your car, and everything will bolt up to work just fine.

Since I had a shop do it (big mistake, I wish I would've done it). It cost me about $700 for all the parts, and $600 for the shop to put it in. Now, again this was over the course of 9 months, so I didn't feel it at all.

The shop had it for about 5 days. The reason why it wasn't that much is because I supplied all the parts.

Exactly. I didn't do it for the same reason, lack of time. It's not hard to do, it's really straight foward. Get an estimate first, don't let them jerk you around. Anything more than $600 would be robbery, I'd say.

Thanks. Luserkid also did one for the EK, everything is pretty much the same except for the intake manifold.

A few things I would change on this parts list(someone may have covered these already...

1. You never mentioned the length of wire necessary for the reverse light wiring (which is necessary).

2. Its Much Cheaper to chip and convert the manual ECU than to purchase another.

3. A different throttle cable IS NOT necessary. If you actually do the job, you will see that when people tell you to replace just the brake pedal without removing the whole set, it is easier said than done (that crap is hard!). If you drop the column (easy as changing underwear), you can remove the pedal set. once you do this, you can replace the brake pedal and re-install the brake/gas pedal set, then when you are ready, install the clutch pedal. I could see no difference between the gas pedal connections, so I don't know where that info came from.. who knows, I threw the manual gas pedal away. Whether you remove just the brake pedal, or the whole pedal set, replacing the gas pedal is a total waste of time, and therefore, the throttle cable shouldn't even be an issue.

4. The auto console portion WILL work. While I was searching for my manual console peice(lost in the shed), I installed a shift boot on my auto console section. The reason I replace it was because it was the last remaining broken/painted part from my full interior de-rice when I bought the car. When you lift the plastic console portion up, you will see that it has the two plastic slots for the metal clips on the boot to slide in to. It also has the two screw holes for the other part of the metal boot piece.

Cliffs Notes: Keep auto throttle cable, Keep Auto Console Piece (buy a shift boot), Chip your ecu instead of buying a new one, and buy wire to wire the reverse lights!

No I don't, but I can get the broken POS out of my shed some time and take a pic..

Do you have some disagreement with it too? If so, I may have bought an auto car that someone replaced the piece with a manual one.. I will research this some..

You do need a did a different throttle cable if you use the set of manual pedals. However, if you keep the automatic/break pedals you can use your existing automatic throttle cable. The mechnisms that connect the cable to the pedal are differnt, this why you need one for the corresponding pedals.
