Okay i have a 98 eclipse with 420a auto transand i wanna swap it out for a manual. Wht parts will i need and how do i do it?

First, use the search function through the Auto Trans forum for "trans swap". There is some decent information there concerning wiring modifications needed. Then, take a close look at an original MT 2GNT (junkyard or friends car). Look for all of the parts that are different to get a feel for what you are dealing with. Off the top of my head, you will need to source the following:

transmission with shift arms and shift cable bracket
speed sensor with gear
speed sensor plug with 6" of wire
rear trans mount and bracket
upper trans mount and bracket
clutch
throw out bearing
clutch fork
slave cylinder
lower hydraulic hard line (for slave cylinder)
bracket for lower hard line
flexible hydraulic line
upper hydraulic hard line (from master cylinder)
bracket for upper hard line
clutch fluid reservoir with cap
bracket for clutch fluid reservoir with bolts
rubber hose for fluid reservoir with clamp
clutch master cylinder
clutch pedal assembly with bolts
brake pedal assembly with bolts
shifter assembly with bolts and rubber bushings
shifter boot
shifter knob
shift cables with rubber bushings and rubber boot thru firewall
clips that hold shift cables in their brackets

You can re-use your AT half-shafts. You can keep your ECU and TCU (but you will have a CEL). If you want the higher rev limiter, you will need to swap in a '98 MT ECU. By the way, it is totally worth it.
