    5 speed swap bolts/nuts question

    I have most of my parts together and im in the process of ordering all the replacement parts(master/slave cylinders, bearings, etc). I was just wondering how many of the bolts i can expect to reuse from the automatic setup on the manual setup.

    Examples being bolts that connect transmission to bellhousing, nuts for attaching crossmember to frame, bolts for connecting driveshaft to flex joint.

    Im ordering a new clutch kit as well, can i expect to use the pressure plate and flywheels bolts from the auto tranny on the manual tranny pressure plate and flywheel?

    Sorry if im droning on, just want to make sure im not at a loss for bolts/nuts when i get all my parts in. I saved most of them from when i took off the driveshaft and tranny at the junkyard. If anyone can, list bolts ill need to buy or get from the junkyard that are either absent on the auto setup, but ill need for the manual setup, or bolts that arent compatible.

      The "book" says to use new pressure plate & flywheel bolts, new fasteners for the drive shaft, and new exhaust fasteners. I use new PP & flywheel bolts and new copper plated nuts for the header studs. A bit of blue locktite is a substitute for new self locking nuts for the drive shaft. The rest of the fasteners can be recycled from the auto.

      It would be a good idea to replace the seals on the transmission before you install it and rebuild the shifter.
