Hey, everybody-

Long story made short:
• '93 S13 convertible, originally an automatic, previous owner swapped it to a 5 speed setup. Kept original auto brake pedal, and left wiring intact (jumpered the reverse lights, etc.). Still has auto ECU in it, thank God.
• I re-do the car over 2 year period, and my retired parents buy it to be used as a fun car to be kept at their beach house in SC. They need it to be automatic again.
• We have purchased a rebuilt automatic trans for the car, along with a new torque converter. In addition to those two items, here are things I *think* I need to acquire:

1. Front half of auto driveshaft
2. Auto shifter and linkage, shifter surround
3. Auto flexplate with shorter bolts (correct?)
4. Pilot bearing for automatic (correct?)

This is where you can chime in and help me make sure I have everything needed to do this swap that is the reverse of what everybody else does. Do you see any "little things" that I may be forgetting? If so, kindly list them and I'll make note of it.

One solution is for me to buy a local S13 coupe that has a blown engine in it, and pirate all the pieces needed from that. I am strongly considering this.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
