90 fc auto to manual swap questions

Hey guys I'm having trouble getting a straight answer as to what parts mix and match to swap from an auto to manual ( have used the search...) . Particularly when it comes to s4 and s5 parts. My question is, what series can i mix and match when it comes to drivetrain, clutch, master and slave, pedals, even the cluster to successfully convert my car without having to heavily modify parts.

im talking s4, s5, turbo or not

Thanks

quick reply:
master,slave,pedals..yes good to go.
Trans..need the Cross member for that Trans to put in another series.
Flywheel belongs to the series of ENGINE.
s4 and s5 engines have different components but the KEG(block in Piston talk) can be swapped in as a Base to put the other series components on.It may need some Modification like swapping front covers to go with the car(s5 has an electric OMP so needs the front cover).
water pumps housings are different,thermostat necks too.

Hey thanks for the reply but one more question...
what drivetrain parts will fit together? say like a s5 transmission and then s4 driveshaft and rear end, will that work? or s4 transmission and s5 driveshaft and rear end? I just want to make sure things will fit before i go out and buy them

Thanks

ya,all that stuff will fit together.
It's when you try to fit NA to TII parts that you will get conflicts.
oh,you may need a manual driveshaft though.
