                They are just referring to the fact that you misspelled manual! There is a lot of information about manual swaps here. The search bar up too will help or you can scroll through the pages in the transmission section. It’s under engine and drivetrain. Good luck! Hopefully you’ll be banging gears before too long.

                    I'm working on this too, gathering parts now. There are a ton of good writeups on AT/MT swaps, just search on Google and you'll find many sites and links to follow.

                    Figure on about $1,000 for all of the parts, another $800 to $1000 to install at an inexpensive shop, much more at other places. DIY is difficult, especially lying on the floor in a dark garage. You really want access to a lift to make this a pleasant experience.

                    Here is my list, gleaned from a variety of sources over the past year. Parts with an (x) are things I already have; still buying other pieces. I hope this helps.

                    M/T swap parts list

                    Transmission input shaft seal
                    Engine rear main seal

                      Awesome man! Thank you so much! I think I’m just going to start with the bigger parts clutch,new flywheel, cylinders, etc when I start thinking of every bolt it’s overwhelming. But yes this list will help for sure! I’ll keep updating my progress here and on instagram.

                        Can you use auto guibo and center support because I got them both new for the auto trans?

                          Glad to help! I’ll likely do mine in 2019.

                          I think the guibo and center bearing may not be the same, but let’s see what others say.

                            Get the brass fork pivot and install a new clutch fork.

                            Get Luis, Miguel and Jose to help...Manuel is always slipping out.
