manual swap in 2001 v70 xc?

I'm one of those people with 2001 transmission problems. The transmission place hasn't been successful in fixing it (I had it rebuilt on warranty twice after the 1st rebuild failed), and I was wondering what it would take to convert to a manual transmission?

I know of a potential donor car, so what would I need?

You will also need a custom ECU re-flash or the engine won't go over 4000 RPM
(About $1500 or so)

Well that's good to know. Would that be something IPD would take care of?

Also, I meant that I know of the car and I don't actually own it. So what I'm really asking is what are all the parts I would need to purchase off the car?

* Transmission
* Shifter/linkage
* clutch pedal
* master cylinder
* slave cylinder
* hydraulic clutch line

Do I need the brake pedal? or does the auto petal clear the clutch pedal?

you'll also need the ECM and TCM from the donor car.

Is that really all I would need? are there all the same connectors in the wiring harnesses? Did I read somewhere that I need to short somehting? Will it bolt up to the AWD system just fine?

IPD does not provide this service anymore as far as I know
You need a Woth tune or get a hold of Marco (TME) in Europe and he will do it too
(I have his email)
Cost is about $1500 or so
If you do this I have a couple of contacts you can call that have done this (manual swaps on 99 and later cars)
