Hey guys, I recently bought a 91 Mazda b2200 carbed and auto, and I just picked up a manual trans, driveshaft, pedals, shift linkage, master cylinder, lines, and slave for a decent price. I just have to order a clutch kit, flywheel and bolts now. I've scoured this forum (and the rest of google) for a full parts list to do this swap and I haven't found anything. So if I missed it here I apologize in advance, but if not I'd like to put together a thread on how to do this. I come from working on Nissans and have done a bunch of auto-to-manual swaps, so I'm pretty confident that I can do this, but there are a few discrepancies that I've wondered about.

I'll list some small considerations that I'm currently unsure of below:
-is there a difference in the exhaust system between auto and manual?
-will I need to modify any vacuum lines?
-is it safe to assume the auto starter motor will need to be swapped?
-will the auto trans crossmember work with the manual?

I've only just begun planning this, so I may think of more to consider, but any sources of info are greatly appreciated and if you've ever done this swap yourself I'd love to have your input. My goal is to write a master parts list and document photos to keep here as a guide for anyone else. My apologies again if this has already been covered and I somehow missed it. Thanks for taking the time to read.

cheers guys
