What parts are EXACTLY needed for the conversion, note: it is a conversion into a wagon.
ive heard some controversy whether the tail shaft and starter motor need to be replaced? thanks.

vs commodore
You can use the same starter but not the same tail shaft.
You will need.
gearbox, gear shifter, cross member, tail shaft, sandwich plate, flywheel and bolts (different bolts from auto to manual), clutch, manual pedal box, clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, spigot bush the metal plate that goes around the gear shifter on the inside, wiring for reverse lights, bell housing bolts, suppose to change the computer too i think but i have done 3 and never did. Also can't remember if i hate to change the speedo cable pretty sure i did.

I might of missed a bit or 2.

You don't need to change computer there's a way around that and speedo cable is the same for both the auto and manual
