what all do i need?

I want to swap out my auto 13b for a 13bt manual. What all do i need for this? All I know is.

Motor
Transmission
ECU
Slave and master cylinder
New clutch and flywheel
Pedals
Cluster gauges
Shift boot
Maybe new motor mounts?


Im not quite sure what else I need to do the swap so please help me out. Im also thinking of getting it at tigerjapanese.com. Has anyone here delt with them before? Thanks!

As for the website you found, I wouldn't trust them. The only import thing I have heard anything good said about it is www.corksport.com I have heard horror stories about countless others.

Plan on spending a BUNCH of money and ending up something that you'll most likely have a ton of problems with.

You'd probably be better off saving for a decent running TII and putting smaller work into that.

for the manual swap, you will need more little BS pieces than you ever though possible, and im sure that goes double for a TII swap.

manual you need:

tranny
driveshaft
clutch
flywheel
shifter
shifter surround
pedals
rear end (mainly for the TII swap, optional for the tranny swap)
gauge cluster
you have to also wire the reverse lights, 5th gear, and nuetral safety switch.
parts to either do the rotaryresurrection swap, or to well the tranny bolt points.
Free time.

after doing the swap, i can honestly say if your car is in good condition, save some more money, sell the car, and buy a decent turbo car. even if the car has a blown engine, its till better than starting from scratch.
