5 speed swap

I'm looking to do the same thing in an Acclaim, I think (let someone else verify for me) you need:
Flywheel
Cluch
Trans
Shifter
Shifter Cables
Pedals and linkage

.... that's what seems to be the list, like I said, I'm not 100% sure but I too am researching the swap, you'll also need 5W30 oil, since that's what Chrysler calls for as the fill

useful trans link: Donovan's Dodge Garage click on the transaxle guide on the links to the left

+ the clutch cable bracket on strut tower

you may need to drop the strut / spring out to get the bracket with the studs (that holds it in ) out from inside the strut tower - no biggie , if the car is off the ground you just take the 3 nuts off at top of tower to wiggle the strut / spring out of the way

manual trans mount
bobble strut brace on K frame.
make sure you don't get a 2.2 NA flywheel. That one caught me by surprise.

Also need to do alittle wiring for clutch safety switch and the bracket under the steering column if you want it "right". Should also get a 5 speed cal, I believe it should run with an auto cal but will try and stall when ever you push the clutch in, someone correct me if Im wrong.

the car won't get the throttle bump like a 5 speed, but your can turn your idle up a bit too, run it 1,000-1,100 if you don't like it. GLHNSLHT2 hates it and fills his AIS with goo so it depends on the owner.
