5spd tranny
shift linkages
5spd starter
flywheel
clutch and pp
cluth pedel assembly
clutch master
clutch slave cyl
master to slave hoses and hard line
5spd ecu(can get away with auto for time being)
5spd swap mount(hasport) or cut upper tranny frame mount and weld in a 5spd unit
a little bit of rewiring and your good to go

i can usually get the parts for anywhere between 5-800 for a sohc 5spd swap. its not a hard swap to do. takes less than 3 hours to do, at least for me. my first 5spd conversion took all day.

I wont be doing the labor on mine. I would rather drop it off and pick it up.........Id rather pick up a few extra shifts at work and not have to worry about it.
