B series transmission conversions aren't that "expensive"... you can get away with a manual conv. for under 1100 easy. And most of that is the transmission.

If you're swapping to a cable tranny, then it's a piece of cake.

Hydraulic conv:
1) Lines for your model car
2) Transmission
3) Slave cylinder
4) Master Cylinder
5) Reservoir
6) Clutch Pedal assembly
7) 5spd brake pedal

Cable conversion:
1) Cable Transmission
2) Clutch Pedal assembly
3) Cable itself
4) 5spd brake pedal

It's late and i might be forgetting some stuff. But a list this easy to find and short as this; should go to show just how easy and worthwhile this swap is.
