Let's see, you'll need:* 5 speed transmission (obviously) I'd check and probably change out the clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, rear main, etc. before you install the trans. I got mine installed only to find out my rear main was leaking and my throw-out bearing was shot. It's easier to do it all before you bolt it up.* Clutch hard line (runs across the firewall)* Clutch master cylinder (you'll also have to buy a hole saw and drill a hole in the firewall for this)* Clutch slave cylinder (I'd recommend buying a new one, they're cheap)* Clutch & brake pedal (you can save a couple bucks buy cutting your auto. brake pedal)* 5 speed shifter* Lower boot, top boot, knob, radio trim bezel (this stuff is not needed right away, but you'll want it eventually)

Mine cost me about...$45. But on average, look to spend around $100-$300 on a transmission, and probably $50-$100 (maybe more) on the 5-spd parts. Then add in extra if you buy a clutch kit.

I have a 5-spd shifter & stock knob for sale if you want it.

Good luck!

should cost $150-500 for parts pending who you buy from or what junkyard you pull your parts from. I have sold a few manual swaps for $400 that included everything minus clutch. Also I wouldn't think labor should cost more than $500.
