Make sure the Neutral Safety switch is on the pedal assembley you get. There is also an electracl connector for the tranny that goes under the car you will need, I got mine from Ford and it was about $30. Good luck with the swap, it took me all weekend, Something I didn't see mentioned was a driveshaft, the auto driveshaft has balancers on the front and rear and is much heavier that the 5 speed one, you might as well go aluminum before buying a stock one. A fluid pump will come in handy for the ATF. Remember that is right you will put ATF in your 5speed, mix it with a little bit of gear oil your first fill up if you get a new T5. Again, this is a painfull swap, but accomplishable, stay calm and like mentioned before take breaks. I took my steering column all of the way out,, it was easier for me.
