I just got my 98 awd eclipse and I was curious if anyone has ever or if anyone knows howto swap an auto to a manual
 
I've done this swap twice, though it was on a 1g, I don't think it would be much different.
For an awd we needed the tranny & t-case(of course), a manual tranny rear diff. (ratios are different), complete clutch linkage, shift linkage, tranny mount and the fixed portion of the drivers side axel that bolts to the block. It took roughly 26 hours to complete. You will also need to connect two of the wires that go to the tranny together to disable the auto saftey start switch. there are also two wires in that harness that connect to the manual tranny back-up light switch, just match the colors up with the harness pigtail(which you will also need to get off a donor car)The wires should be the same color provided you got them off the same year car. Any other ?
