No need to get a 5 speed.
The body of your car has holes for the clutch master. You just have to take out the metal cover.

When u get the swap, get the manual pedals and clutch master and lines and u r good to go.

Installing the clutch master and lines will not be a problem. Assuming you have all the parts, its just unplug (the cover) and plug in the clutch master.
What will be difficult would be removing and installing the Manual brake pedal and accel pedal. You have to remove the steering coloum and that is a bitch because once its unbolted, its heavy.

Not impossible though.... just time consuming.

I think if I did not make a mistake, that would have been removal and install.
But then I forgot the boot... had to remove the whole steering thingy again.... thats another 1 hour of labor.
