its not a bad swop

you need the brake and clutch pedals from the manula donor, plus the 2 helper springs and the mastercylinder assy. you dont need to swop the entire pedalbox assy over !

from the engine bay you'll need the master cyl to slave rigid hose( on bulkhead ) and the flexi hose from the n/s inner trans tunnel.

if the Auto is a Switchable, you'll need the manual prop too ( S/Auto has 4 bolt guibo)

there are some electrical tweaks to do, but the mechanicals are an easy enough, if time consuming job.

s/auto has a normal 6 bolt guibo, it's the fact the front section is shorter than a manual one by a good few inches. The rear section is the same.
