will there should be threads about here for that its been done a few times,,,mainly on 850Rs and T5Rs as the t5 is much more replaceable with a manual version,might be best considering a new t5 as youl need ,man box pedal assembly,, manual stick and various cables and dash pieces,,if you do it consider a new clutch,if i was doing this id also consider a R gear box with diff
