I got all the parts out of a 94 for my swap. If I remember correctly, I paid about 1200 and that was with a Spec Stage 2 clutch. You'll need the trans, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, pedal assembly, clutch cylinder/resevour, shifter, M6 crossmember, lower shift boot and a 6 speed console. You'll also need a tune to make the PCM t56 friendly since your speedo will be off. Don't forget the reverse light plug, speedo plug, and reverse lockout plug off the M6 harness. I followed this write-up and did it myself in my garage on jackstands. I took my time and it took me about three and a half days to complete. Just need to make sure you have everything.

Don't get scared away. It's definatly do-able. It's all bolt-in. Just be sure to take your time.
