I recently bought an auto s13 but the guy included what he said was the full 5speed conversion. I just got out of the Honda scene and I'm new to 240's so I don't really know if I have everything. If anyone can tell me what I'm missing or what is needed it would help me so much. I have the 5 speed tranny, wiring harness, clutch, flywheel, brake and clutch pedals.
I'm sure there are a few things I'm missing. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks.

You'll need the master and slave cylinders as well.

the lil rubber shift boot things that keep crap from getting in your car, all the bolts, the block plate (goes in between the tranny and motor), the support brackets, shifter, MT driveshaft.. with that said, you have all of the expensive stuff out of the way

Ok thanks. With that out of the way. I live pretty close to Temecula. Know any good shops around the area?

You need the MT driveshaft, a MT cross member, clutch and slave, the clutch hard line, and all the things you have listed that you have already. It's a pretty simple swap, don't pay a shop to do it.

u DO NOT need the wiring harness.. itll just make your wiring swap more confusing. keep the auto harness and dont worry about it. wire in reverse lights later on. i have a xmember, 5spd driveshaft, if you need either of the two.

if you have what it takes to work on a honda, you can do the swap in your driveway. its not hard at all.
you dont need the "block plate" just reuse the existing one, just need to bend 2 tabs down.
also need the pilot bushing, and get a new throwout bearing. Use New flywheel bolts. I wouldnt bother changing the brake pedal, just cut it.

Dont forget the little pilot bearing is different from auto and manual and will save you a whole world of hurt.
