Transmission crossmember
Transmission mount
Various nuts and bolts
5-speed computer
shifter
neutral saftely switch
have to hook up wires for back up lights

As far as time, depends if you are doing
it in your garage or in a shop with a lift
and pro tools.

Shouldn't take more than a few hours though.
Most difficult part would be when your hand slips off the wrench and you smack yourself in the face. [Smile]

Have fun.

I suggest you use a adjustable clutch quadrant... And cable. Also get the rubber boot that bolts to the car where your shifter is bolted now... If you dont use it then you will sometimes get exhaust smoke in the car at a light...

Thats right, I have an A9p and it works fine, all I had to do is get the harness from ford, one of their last ones. I ended up using a harness off a parts car I had so I still have the reverse light wiring for sale if you need it. Brand new in box. [patriot]
