    you probably need the ECU for the 5 speed too.

    it's the computer for the car, the engine control unit.

    There are a ton of parts to swap out for the conversion. It's not worth it unless you know what you are doing and have done swaps before (lots of them).

    I swapped my tranny out for another manual one (with an LSD in it) and it was the biggest pain ever. You basically have to take the whole front end out from the bottom (excluding the engine and front fenders). It's more work then I thought it would be and that wasn't even converting it, that was just replacing it :?

    You'll need the ECU, all the clutch lines, all of the senders and wiring for it, clutch and brake pedals and lines, all the shifter linkage and lines, tranny, clutch/flywheel, new motor mounts (manual ones), and anything else that I'm forgetting......

    I think it's more work then you want to do but I could be wrong :?

    Get it, Sell it, use the money to buy a manual Corolla, or a different car maybe.

    Theres lots of work involved in a swap like that.
