you can deff find this in a search cause this is were i looked to find out what i needed. are you doing the swap yourself? i got a donor car from a junk yard and had a friend mechanic do it. off the top of my head youll need manual guages, master cylinder, clutch pedal, new shifter, the tranny... just search in " archived" it helps. i payed 1350 for parts and install...

 

yea i can do it myself just dont know whats needed except for basic stuff can u post the link u had found

I wouldn't criticize if I were you.

Examples:
Yours =&gt; Where it belongs

Note the last post you made

 

so other than that and the shift linkage i wouldnt need anything else?

 

i thought you need to change subframe?

 

transmission
shift cables
shift box
clutch lines: hardlines, softlines, and slave cylinder
master cylinder for the clutch

and manual trans speed sensor if the new trans does not come with it
manual trans starter
mastercylinder rezzy and cap
clutch pedal assy
brake pedal assy
flywheel and flywheel cover
manual subframe
manual trans motor mounts
manual gauge cluster
Manual ecu
manual wiring harness

 

i thought the ecu and gauge cluster wasn't needed?

 

Bump!!! anyhting else

 

its not but i think with the auto ecu it wont rev high or something.. not sure

the gauge is not needed

 

Having done this swap i have first hand experience on whats needed and not. You do not need the ECU, Engine Harness & Dash Harness. Although its best you change them you wont need them to have the car running. You will throw CEL's for missing senors and have no reverse lights. Just make sure you reconnect the little black box that's located on the auto tranny on the side back on the car (be sure its set in park)

You will need these parts
-Trans w/ Slave, Starter, Speed & Reverse Sensors (preferably from a 04-05)
-Flywheel & Clutch w/ Flywheel Cover
-Subframe
-Axles
-Front Tranny Mount & Side Tranny Mount Bracket (the automatic side mount, rear mount & bracket fits)
-Shifter Box w/ Cables
-Brake & Clutch Pedals
-Clutch Master Cylinder w/ Reservoir
-Clutch Hard & Flex Line

Not needed but recommended
-ECU
-Engine Harness
-Dash Harness
-Gauge Cluster
