Need clutch pedal assembly. Master and slave cyl and lines. Clutch. Shifter. Trans. Flywheel. Iirc driveshaft as well. And mount I think.

How much it costs depends on which trans which clutch new or used and what deals you can find.

How hard is it going to be depends on your experience level or a buddy's level and wether or not your doing it on a lift.

The driveshafts are different lengths, so yes, you'll need a new one. Not sure about R154, but you'll also need to pound the firewall out in order to fit a V160 as the tunnel is different. And you'll need to do a little drilling/cutting to bolt the shifter in, IIRC.

If you're going 154 you will also need an extended shifter housing and shift lever as well as a 1J bell housing and flywheel.

What trans are you planning to use??? What are your power goals?

if you got the bank roll, do a 6 speed swap

v160 trans- avg $3500
6 speed pumpkin- avg $1500
manual tunnel if you dont want to pound- avg $400

if not then a R154 is good.

R154 trans- avg $1000
you can use n/a 5 speed pumpkin not sure on prices of those. maybe $ avg 400-500?

other misc stuff should be same.
