It's pretty expensive unless you can find a parts car cheap that you can pull everything off of. You need a tranny, shifter linkage, shift mechanism, pedals, clutch lines, slave cylinder, master cylinder, master cylinder reservoir, clutch kit-modular or non-modular, and a handful of other things that I can't think of right now. I think I am $2500-3000 into my swap. Mostly because I can't think of any reason to not do a lot of other work to the car while it's apart (tie-rods, control arms, new ball joints, poly bushing kit, rear brake swap, etc.). There are two write-ups that I know of that have a more comprehensive list. Whenever I get home I can post them up for you.

Just search around, find the deals, check junkyards. do the labor yourself, its pretty easy.. time consuming if you've never touched a trans in your life (like me), but worth it.
what has to be done with the main wiring harness? do you cut the harness and splice in the 2 plugs from the 5spd in place of auto long single plug on the ecu?
and the speed and reverse sensor do the same??
ive been reading through all the write ups and this is my only headache do you just match color to color?
When you wire up the speedo sensor to the auto tranny harness, there are two black/yellow wires. I clipped the wrong one on the first try, went back and spliced into the other one with no ill effects. I would have to go look at the car to tell you the exact wiring I did. The reverse sensor switch requires the pigtail off the manual transmission as well. I pulled one off a neon as it is the same plug.

I am starting the wiring on sat. ill see if I can follow you directions and possibly provide some pics
I am also putting in the manual computer, since I have 3 complete talons 2 5 spds, and one auto. one is my show one is snow and one is parts. the parts car is a 95 talon 5 spd with 2 small plugs going into the computer and the auto main harness is one single long plug?
do i hook up color to color to get the 2 small plugs and the manual computer?
