Parts you will need (possibly more): tranny, flywheel, clutch, pressure
plate, pedal assy, hydraulic master, hose assy, slave cylinder, computer
from same year/same motor BUT for manual tranny, interior tunnel trim pieces
for a 5 speed.
You will also need to verify that the tailend of your crankshaft has been
bored to accept the input shaft pilot bushing!!!
I think the easiest way to do this swap is to have a 5 speed donor vehicle
at hand! I don't expect that it would be extremely hard, just time
consuming.
Happy swapping.
Let us know if you decide to go through with it.
