you all make it sound so easy!

new pedals, clutch line , clutch cylinder, reinforcement plate for the clutch master cylinder, flywheel, clutch, drive shaft/shafts, shifter linkages, gear selector, starter motor, ecu and other stuff i cant tell you off the top of my head!

gear box, gearbox mount, spare hands

Took me about 3 days for the conversion, no spare hands though. Also a bit of messing around with the wiring for the reverse switch. Dash clocks if you don't want ex-auto evidence staring at you. VSS drive gear as the auto one mounts differently. Also if your unlucky, the gearbox mount bracket may be different which will require some welding.
