The conversion to a 5-speed manual will be significantly more than you think. To do it correctly, and do the full conversion, you will have to not only get the normal parts like the transmission and clutch, but also all of the proper support parts. Clutch reservoir and parts, the engine computer, different cam shafts (yes, the manual has different cams), different center console dials (you will need an 8k RPM tach instead of the 7,500 RPM tach), and then also replace the dial that has the shift pattern on it with one that does not, and the list goes on and on.


Needless to say....re-building one of your two transmissions (I would rebuild the original so that the car has the matching numbers), is your best choice. Also, by doing a full re-build on your original, you will know everything is new. So if it breaks after 1,000 miles you can go back and kill the guy that did it and not have to pay again.


I hope this helps.
