Auto to 5 speed swap (not a how to Q)

Ok, I read thru the archive on how to do it, but it didnt have a parts list. I'm parting a 91 NA 5 speed. I want to pull everything needed for a 5 speed swap and sell it as a package. Does anyone have a complete parts list of what I need to pull?

I know for sure:

Tranny (duh)
Clutch Hydraulics
Clutch Pedal

What else does it need?

Thanks

You don't need custom anything. Get some manual tranny mounts and weld them in. The auto diff will work, and you don't need the gauge cluster, unless you want the stupid shift up light.

Umm noob he asked what was needed to do a complete install, not some halfassed backyard install.

And welding the mount to the frame is the dumbest thing ive ever heard! Evere think how you would get your tranny back out?



And yes man the Auto lsd is 3.909 compared the the 5-sp 4.11.

NOOB, the easiest and NOOBiest way is to cut 4 pieces of steel, drill holes and weld them, and call it transmission mount adapters. The proper and unNOOB way is to cut the old mounts off in the tunnel, and weld them into the proper spots in the new tunnel.

Are you retarded. How would you get your tranny back out, you unbolt it from the mount.
