bell housing, clutch fork, pilot bushing, clutch master cylander and all the lines. Ur best bet is to go to a junkyard and find a T5 f bod. just grab all the stuff u need off that. I am not exactly sure, BUT u might need a different crossmember.

You also need a new starter. Either a stock unit for a manual tranny equipped car (along with the new 1/4" shorter mounting bolts) or a mini-starter which will work for either an automatic or manual equipped car. Also this topic should be moved to the transmission/drivetrain section. Good luck, Lon. 8^)

naw ur starter wont work couse one fom an automatic is set up to be used with the "slimer" flywheel it has. If u look at a manuals flywheel its quite larger than the autos. So the starter deffinetly has to go. It sux too couse the 5 spd starters always seem to be much more in price than autos

 

ok...thanks for the info, so, what starter should I install. Aftermarket or OEM, and could I install it myself. What is the difficulty level. thanks, bigtex

Don't forget the pedal assembly and console. I have a Tilton mini-starter, and I highly recommend it. Saves weight, is damn near impossible to heat soak, and is a quality made in the U.S.A. part.

 

well for the few LBS u would save on a mini starter i highly doubt its gonna be worth the 120$ that most places ask for them. An oem starer would run u about 65$ and most will have a lifetime guarantee. give ur local auto zone a call. Man this was a bad night ................


sorry guys i gotta share my emotions
