Lightbulb Auto----->Manual. What do I need?

Ok, been awhile since I was last here, but I finally picked up my project pro. It's a 91 LX Auto. Keeping the BP, but want to switch to manual. Here is a list of what I know I need, anything else, and am I wasting my time?

Tranny/mounts
ECU
Clutch
Flywheel/bolts
Clutch slave cylinder/master cylinder/lines
pedal cluster
clutch bracket
shifter
linkage/bushings


I couldn't find any info yet on this swap, so if anyone can help, please do so.

Thanx...

The info is on the site, just the search engine database isn't working

Haha...not at all. Just a name I thought would be fun. I might have a buyer for the car if I were to fix the auto tranny cooling problem, but this way I have an excuse to pull the car apart, repaint, build, and play with

ive done the swap and thats pretty much it. Dont forget you will have to jump the park/neutral safety switch in order to get it to start. If ya need any help anlong the way dont hesitate to pm me. By the way, when you are getting the tranny mounts, dont forget to get the plate in the front of the tranny that the mounts bolts into, the one from the auto will not work! Also, when you are putting the tranny in, remove the top tranny mount, it will get in the way if your just pulling it in by hand like i did (couldnt get a jack)

You'll need a new ECU, too>? Well, I mean right away? Or does jumping the safety switch take care of that?

Groovy! I think I might buy a BP sometime too, if I can get it for about $100, so, if I ever put that in, THEN I'd just get the right ECU

I'm kinda having a hard time finding parts. How hard is it to change the pedal cluster? Is it riveted in? WHat upgrades can I do while I switch over for not too much$$? Maybe a better clutch, although the Sachs replacement is what I had in mind. Have my flywheel machined and lightened a bit maybe. New cylinders, and the stainless line. A short shifter and poly bushings/mounts if they are avail?

OK I have a question.... what axles does the automatic use? DX or LX? So I will have to switch them?
