I'm currently doing some research and trying to save for the R154 conversion myself (labour to fix up my current auto is going to cost around $3000~$3300, manual conversion is around $4000~$4500 including new clutch and upgraded pressure plate, and I don't think I'll be happy with an auto after spending so much on it - oh.. the prices are in AUD). What I've found for a full conversion from auto to manual (in a JZZ30 anyway) includes...

* R154 manual transmission
* Clutch pedal assembly (including pedal switch and master cylinder)
* Master to slave cylinder hydraulic line hard line
* Slave cylinder (plus flexible hydraulic hose and hydraulic hard pipe)
* Shift fork
* Spigot bearing
* Flywheel with ring gear
* Clutch and pressure plate with thrust washer
* Soarer specific R154 shifter mechanism
* Lengthened tailshaft (if you can't come across a genuine Soarer m/t tailshaft)
* m/t crossmember and gearbox mount
* Tunnel rubber boots and insulators
* Interior stuff (centre console surround, gearshift boot and gearknob)
* M/T ECU (JZZ30 auto ECU will also work)

Custom wiring needed for bypassing neutral start switch, clutch cruise cancellation interface, park lock switch and 2nd speed sensor emulator.


Hope that helps
