It is not easy to do at all. The time and money you will spend is not worth it. If you want a 5sp then buy one. Doing the swap requires way too much

I dont believe you need any sensors or anything. Most of the stuff will bolt right in but the hardest thing (which it seems your good with) is getting all the parts to do the swap. Then youll have to do some cutting of the firewall and then get a new brake pedal as well. But i can see it costing you 1500 to do this depending on how cheap you get the labor and the parts.
