Everyone bitches and complains that its so hard. HOnestly man, its easy as pie ESPECIALLY since your going to do a swap at the same time (just like i did). basically you'll just do your swap as usual except add one line for the clutch and switch out your pedals. Piece of cake when i did it alone in my garage.

sohfast.com will take the time to put together a kit for you if you request it. They've got my business as soon as I figure out which swap i'm doing first..but yea, there's a couple threads floating around...just do a search on "auto to manual" from the archives

and of course there's plenty of helpful people that would help you with questions if you ask nicely.

its simple first find a donor car with all of you parts and then go for it, you need you clutch setup pedal master cylinder and slave cylinder, if you want the gauge cluster and the center console unless you take yours apart and shifter and linkage, its not that bad done plenty of them.

eg is cake just add the stuff on thats all you have to do.
takes time tho but if your pulling the motor out its alot easier to work with more room to put the clitch line and everything

did one in 4 hours in a friends hatch.


The passenger side frame rail mount is different. You either need to buy a manual mount and cut the old one off and weld the new one on...OR, buy an auto to manual mount from HAsport for 200 bucks.

You need the clutch lines, passenger torque mount, pedal assembly, all clutch lines/master cylinder/slave cylinder, and jump the park switch so it will start
