How hard would it be to convert an automatic to a manual and what parts would I need to do the swap? TIA

 

u need a manual tranny ( doh )
complete shift linkage
clutch pedal and asembly
cable for the tranny
and learn how to drive a manual.......

 

Those are the parts I was guesing I would need I just wanted to be sure. And I already know how to drive a manual its just Im gettin a deal on an auto hatch and I wanna swap for a manual. Would it be an easy swap for me to do or would it be better to pay the money and have a shop do it. Thanks again for your help.

i did it myself, wasnt too hard
parts list:
tranny, clutch kit (clutch, press plate, bearings, alignment tool) flywheel + bolts, clutch cable, pedal set, ecu, i think you might also need a manual tbody, mounts (this is really important, this delayed me) you need the rear mount + braket, side mount + braket, front mount (just the rubber mount) shift linkage/stabilizer bar + bushings (you'll have to drill 2 holes for it, its really straight foward), shifter, MTF
thats all i can remember right off the top of my head right now
you can IM if you have any more questions
good luck
