So for the 5L conversion, what do I need?
ECU?
T5?
Driveshaft?
Wiring for T5?
By the sounds of it I can still use auto loom, just swap a few pins for the ECU?
Flywheel?
Clutch?
Missing anything?

Anyone got clear instructions for the pin moves?

you can still use the auto loom/ecu but youll have to get the memcal tuned for the manual(do a search for greenfoam) but heres the wiring i used but i forgot how i wired the speedo but heres a photo of what wires you have to work on (they go to the auto t-bar sensor thing so i'd just cut them from that.) all you have to do is, conect the black wire with the gray one(thats you neutral so it will start) then you have to run the green one and the pink one down to the side of the box where the is the reverse sensor, conect it to that ( i used some spade things so it sits in sweet) it doesnt matter which way you put them on the box because they'll work either way. hope that helps. also you need a spigot bush (can get it from repco for a few bucks) and the floor plate and pedal box/clutch cable..its a pretty basic conversion

Pedal box, obviously...

A manual memcal in an Auto ECU will work also. Or as mentioned a reflashed auto memcal.

You will have to make sure the inhibitor switch is in Park or neutral after you remove the auto....Pretty self explanatory when you get to it, its just a dial essentially...

Just spend the extra coin on a new HD clutch...

Nothing worse then doing all the above and finding out you cant get the maximum power to the treads because of a flogged out clutch.

The fun will start all over again...

Got a brand new clutch. Just a standard for the 5.0
