Not to mention replacing the ECU with the smaller injector settings. Auto tranny cars have smaller injectors , I beleive the 1G's (for example) have 350cc injectors as well as the smaller 13G turbo. Replacing the ECU with a manual tranny one , and upgrading your injectors should be one of the first things you do after the tranny is installed. And for 707_ Eclipse , heres a breakdown of typical prices for various parts.

AWD tranny: $350 (club price , why pay more?)
Clutch master cylinder : $50 (brand new)
""""""" slave cylinder : $25 (brand new)
Manual pedal assembly : $50 (junkyard)
Axles should be the same: $0
Manual tranny ECU : $100 (club price)
stick shifter plus cables : $150 (club price)

That should about cover it , I might have missed minor details. A swap like this can generally be done for less than $1000. If you have a shop do it , thats where the price may go up a lot , but how many REAL DSM'ers do you know that uses a shop.........

Yeah I forgot about the injectors and ecu, stupid autos.
