Hi

Check out dougt5r on the members list i think you will find he has done a swap with auto to manu, he's done just about all you can do I think.

Its easy.

Well its not but it is. Its no more difficult than removing the transmission would be anyways. Everything bolts right in you just need the:

Transmission (any 96+ M56H will work)
Pedal assembly
Shifter, Shift Assembly and cables
Clutch Master and Slave cylinders (and the line that connects em)
Clutch and throwout bearing

The auto axles will work fine.

The hardest part is only if your fat like me, is working under the dash. Honestly, I'd rather pull a motor than deal with the interior BS on these cars.

This is not needed but I converted my AT harness into a MT harness: http://rkforum.boardsxp.com/topic.19.html
