clutch pedal; clutch master cylinder, manual gearbox;extended pedal rack;clutch cable; clutch plate;manual pressure plate;plenty of time and a best friend who is a good mechanic;or a mechanic who works cheap cos if you have never done an auto to manual conversion you are in for a s*** load of mucking about. good luck.What exactly do i need to change my car to stick shift?
you need A LOT of parts and money. Ef owner here.
A standard transmission with appropriate adapters and a Sawsall.
Do you have at least $5,000 you want to spend?
Combination Clutch Brake Assembly, Linkage to go to the Bell Housing, Bell Housing, Clutch, Throwout Bearing, Flywheel, Transmission, Shift Linkage, Shifter, Drive Shaft Shortening or Lengthening, Speedometer hookup for the transmission, and Speedometer Calibration.
On top of that, any mechanic will charge about $60 an hour labor, and it is not a quick job.
It is smarter to sell the car and buy one that is a stick shift already. You will also need to have a new Transmission Crossmember and the brackets on the frame for it as the spacing is not the same as an automatic.
You need a different car that is set up like you want it.
the only feasible way to do this would be to have a donor car with a manual transmission and then you would essentially have to turn your car into it. The amount of changes needed are so extensive that you will be much better to just sell your car and buy a different one. Some of the things that may be different are your pedals of course since you need to add a clutch pedal. The steering column is often different, computer may be affected since auto transmissions provide data to the computer. Depending on the vehicle the engine mounts may be different, What you are suggesting is VERY complicated, not like it was in the 1960's.
