ok, I'll probably forget some things, but heres the gist...
-tranny
-shift linkage
-shifter
-clutch master and slave cylinders
-clutch pedal assembly
-5spd brake pedal
-hydraulic lines/bleeder valves/etc
-I forget which axles are the same and which change. I believe you can reuse the passanger axle?
-transmission mounts
-rewire neutral/park switch to go to the clutch pedal switch
-flywheel (I believe Matt93se is now sold out of VG fidanza's
... Jeff92se might be able to get one, he sells the VQ fidanza's).
-clutch
-the bolts that hold the flywheel to the crank. The ones that come on an auto arent long enough (edit: well there probably long enough, but the 5spd ones are longer because the flex plate is about 2mm thick, while the flywheel was atleast a cm thick)
-gear oil
-loc-tite
-transmission seals
-shift boot/surrounding bezel (for the interior of the car)
I think thats about it.

klowns right you can use your curren axles
your need the ears or mounts that bolt the trany to the engine they are different between the auto and 5spd
you could put a manual brake pedal in but we just got the manual brake pedal boot and sawzalled the auto pedal and put the boot on much much much easier
you also need a template or some dimentions to know where to drill holles for the slave cylinder

A donor car isn't exactly necessary, but IMO, it's the only way to go. You can see exactly how everything should fit up after everything is said and done.
You can go purchasing piece by piece, but buying a parts car will save a TON of hassle

total cost was about 300$ but we used the clutch from the donor car, rebiult the master cylinder and bought a new slave cyinder

hard tranny ECU question: If im doing a 5 spd conv. and the parts are from a 92se and i have a 90se will everything bolt up? and work?
-like the tranny ecu, and harness. can i, Take out my old tranny ecu and plug in the 5spd ecu and then plug my old harness into all the 5spd parts?
thanx in advance

alright so since im taking my 94 auto out and putting in hopefully a 92 - 94 se stick in, do i need a 90 stick ecu then? also if i was to pull the parts from a maxima with a vg engine, then do i still have to replace as much stuff, like those longer bolts, etc?

if you use a 92 - 94 se 5spd tranny you will need different axles and spindles for your gxe
either way you dont need to change your ecu
if you pull the tranny from a 89-91 vg 5spd you wont need to change axles or spindles
what longer bolts are you talking about
