Shouldn't affect the computer running the manual trans instead of the auto. Crossmember and driveshaft will work the same on the manual trans too. Make sure you have the torque arm bracket with the 5 speed. If not, you need to get one. They're different from the automatic torque arm bracket, and don't interchange. Also make sure the "lips" on the end of your torque arm are facing the right way for the manual torque arm bracket/bushing assembly. Don't forget to install a pilot bushing, or bearing in the back of the crankshaft for the manual trans. Get the bearing if possible, it works better than the solid bushing.
