If you have never done one, I think you might want to allot yourself more than one day.

You will need more than one day. Two minimum. I'm in the process of swapping a T-5 into my car right now. I bought the car no engine or trans. I had to swap pedals in my car and the one he was keeping. He wanted the auto I wanted the manual. The best advice I can give is to drop the column down to get to the top left nut. Also it helps to have someone to slightly pull on the brake booster to help disengage the pedal assembly from the studs. Good luck!

there are a few things you have to do:
1. cut hole in floor for shifter
2. cut hole in firewall for clutch slave cylinder (might want to make a template from a car with a 5-speed)
3. put in pedals (what a b!tch that was)
4.you have to rig a special wire for the reverse lights
