Default auto to manual tranny swap

first off, my reverse seems to work fine but my first gear just whines and doesnt go anywhere, for more info check here.

seeing as i probably need a new tranny and a new(?) ZF auto from RN is just over $5000 (i dont even want to know what a dealer would charge) im thinking doing a manual conversion wouldnt be such a bad choice, seeing how i prefer them anyway and i found one for about $1070 after shipping.

if you could help me out a bit on what parts i would need (pedal assebly, cables, flywheel?), i would be most gratful.

thank you.

yeah ive got most of those, though the metric system ****ing pwns the homo english system

****ing retarded american inability to accept change!

now that we're off topic...i just read a tech letter in Four Wheeler regarding the swap in a '97 F150. there was some crap about needing the drive shafts and the TC (being the big ones that i wouldnt expect) im going to do a little more research, maybe make a call to RN or something.
