You will need the dash harness as well. To do this right you will need ALL manual harness. Trust me I just done mine a few months ago everything went smooth. I seem harness alot on ebay.

If any of you who converted from auto to 5 spd need the 4.10 gear rear, I'll trade
you even for your 3:90 auto rear. PM me. Sorry to hijack.

Find a member in your area with a Manual and do a quick ECU swap and see what happens.

AT to MT swap

I just completed a 93 AT to MT swap myself. I used the AT wiring harness. Only mods were to jumper 3 wires on the large AT connector (details if you need them) and wire in the reverse switch so the backup lights worked. NO OTHER MODS required. I am using a Power FC which may account for the ease of conversion. Lee
