How hard is it (tranny Swap)

How hard is it to do a transmission swap from auto to manual. I've done it on a honda before but i know this aint no honda. Also is it possible to change from a single oil cooler to dual oil cooler and how hard is that??

The swapping of the tranny is very simple and anyone w/ basic mechanical skills could get it done. Its everything else involved to get the conversion to work thats a PITA!

also rotaryresurrection.com has a great write-up on how to do it and they also have a total parts list needed for the swap, i bought a parts car with-out an engine for my swap as you need pretty much everything from the flywheel back. as well as the pedal assembly, master,slave and lines
