Getrag f23 rear transmission mount to frame
TTR front mount.
Getrag f23 transmission
Cv shafts for f23
New engine harness for 5 speed
New PCM for 5 speed
Shift cables
Shifter assembly
Boot and console top
New gas and brake pedal assembly
Clutch pedal assembly
Master cylinder and pressure line
Flywheel & new flywheel bolts since they are torque to spec
Clutch
Throw out bearing
some minor re-wring of the dash harness for Clutch start safety switch


Worth it? Oh hell yes... But a donor parts car is the BEST way to do it. Cuts down on the cost of buying everything individually.

All I am going to say is to search around this site, there are several posts buried through this sites history. I'm not personally going to tell you anymore than I have because if it were made soo simple, everyone would be wanting to do. I've had to do my own fair share of spending hours digging and searching.

g'luck.

not worth it in my opinion

from fabbing up the mounts, pedal assembly, linkage, shafts

just buy a car with a manual in it

Or spend a grand and get a built auto w/ custom converter. Thats what I'm doing. I still wish I could slam the clutch and downshift though...



Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.
