ive searched but i dont think i typed in all the rite words... but anyways how hard would it be to put in a clutch pedal and what else do i have to do...

i got into a wreck and ima pull everything out of the wrecked car and put it into a new car... the new one is automatic ...

is there any cutting welding involved or is it just a simple unbolt then bolt it rite in type thing... i havent actually seen what it looks like in the auto car...

You honestly can't be serious, right? There are like 5 articles on this site for 5 speed swaps and about 5000 people asking. Well here is your answer, me and my friend did it in our drive way with a torque wrench, dremel, hole saw drill bit, other basic tools, we only used the jacks to get the car on stands. We got a dolly and shimmed it with 2 by 4's to lift the transmission. I guess how easy depends on what you call easy. For me it was cake, considering I'm about to hand build my motor and supercharge it (in other words making my own kit). Next time search harder.

BTW If you have some real questions messege me and good luck with your swap.
