Hey,
I want to know if you guys can give me a good idea of what parts I'm going to need to convert a 1990 GTU from an auto to a 5spd, keeping in mind that I'll have the car, a new 5spd tranny w/ shifter. Is there anything else I'm going to need? I may be getting a few different parts, or a few different Rx7s from the guy, but I can't decide which I want, and if I can easily convert the automatic one over to a 5spd, then I'll get it...any info on this procedure is helpful!

also to add to mazdaspeed7's post, you will need a manual tranny drive shaft, and the tranny mounts for the 5spd, the auto is longer than the standard and the new drive shaft is required. if i think of anythin else ill let ya know
