A new flywheel, the hydraulics, and the tranny and clutch of your choice.

You might have to have the dealer reflash it to complete the switch from the auto to manual, but that's about it.



Oh, and a lot of time and patience.

remove the shift cable and tuck/tie up wiring, for reverse lights get the run a power to the on side of the switch on the trans and a wire to the reverse light from the other side of the switch
