you need to replace the clutch/brake pedal assemble and drill 3 holes in firewall where the clutch cable comes though. when you remove the automatic brake pedal you will see 2 nuts welded to the firewall from the inteior side. need to drill through center so you can put in bolts from engine side and drill a bigger hole between them where cable comes though. you will need to cut off automatic mount on drivers side frame rail and drill 4 holes through for manual mount. shiter will unbolt and remve with 4 nuts and you can swap that over. will need to drop steering column down and take the cable out of back of ignition switch and screw in something to hold it out or you won't be able to take key out. will also need to find the biggest 2 wires going to the switch on tranny and join them together or car will not crank over

you can use your ecu, the wires for clutch switch are not there, you can split the wire to neutral safety switch or just not bother to hook it up and make sure you never start it in gear
