I just want to ask a question for people that swapped from an auto to a T5.

So far I bought a Zoom clutch from CSK auto with a lifetime warranty. As far as the pilot bushing that goes in the crank, they only had the solid bushing not a needle bearing. Will the bushing be fine for now ?

Also, I was wondering what I can use for a boot to go over the hole I'm gonna cut in the tranny tunnel for the shifter. Do any of the off the shelf boots work ? What about the boot for the shifter itself ? The plate I got has one on it but it's cracked and stiff and it's starting to tear in a few places. Any suggestions on what I can use for that ? Thanx in advance.

The solid bushings work fine. For both boots I would cruise the junkyards. You can buy the whole trim plate with boot for $90 from classic industries but if you can find one in a junkyard it'll be much cheaper.
