i spoke too soon, i was just looking around and came upon a website that you might want to check out. it shows the parts that some miata owner needed when he converted his MX-5 from auto to manual. check out http://www.miata.net/garage/auto_2_5_speed.html I hope this helps.

the mx is alot harder than a miata.

you will need
MTX trans
clutch kit
pedal assembly (comes with clutch and break)
master cylnder resevoir
MTX motor mounts
and passenger side axel and half shaft.
if you want to do it rite you will need the wiring harness and ECU
it will run just fine with the ATX ECU if done rite
i have a MTX ECU if you need one for cheep.
you need the clutch slave and lines
and a lot of time it took me 2 days. but their is a saying poor man poor tools, im poor. so it takes a while.

Here is my list of what I purchased for the swap.

(Note: You will need the starter for the 5-speed as well)

You will need this handy little link when you think you have everything done:

We did mine back in September.

don't forget you have to change the tps, they are different from auto to manual!

the TPS is only different on the 92-93. 94-95 DOHC they are the same from auto to manual. they bothe have the same serial numbers and test out identical.
