don't forget the pedal box, tail shaft, g-box crossmember, clutch cable...
Can't recall if the starter motor is the same.

Just finished a conversion myself. Parts required were - box, throw out bearing and holder, flywheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, speedo cable, clutch cable, pedal box with the firewall plate (has a clutch cable guide), spigot bearing. Had to modify the back of the crankshaft, flywheel and gearbox input shaft to make them fit together. Had to fabricate a rear gearbox mount. Had to make a hole in the firewall for the clutch cable. I regret not reinforcing the clutch release bearing holder. Theses obviously bend with age. I was ****ed off to find that with a new clutch kit the cable adjustment was almost on maximum. Hope this helps....

Just remembered, make sure you blank off the vacuum pipe that went to the auto, and change the timing to manual specs too.....The relay on the LHS beside the battery that goes to the starter can be bypassed. It was used for the neutral lockout.

The auto transmission hump is bigger than the manual one so a bigger box will fit. I saw a celica 5 speed steel box (the strong one) conversion for an escort advertised on e-bay today.
