2001 S60 T5 Transmission swap from auto to manual

I have a 2001 S60 T5 that currently has the AW55-50SN tranny. The motor is the 2.3 high pressure turbo. I need the tranny replaced as it is doing all the standard problems and the valve body replacement did not fix the issues. It seems to me the manual swap is the key. I have read all the write ups on doing the swap and am sure this is the way to go. The concern I have is that I do not know exactly which models are going to be compatible, or are all 850, s60, v70, s70, s80, c70 etc. going to work as a donor for the 5 speed tranny? I read the single clutch can be used from an 850R, but he was also putting it in a C70. I just want to make sure I have all my bases covered before I go buying parts and find that none of them will work for me. I have searched both this site and others for a list of compatible parts, but did not find anything. Can anyone direct me to a list, or does anyone know what clutch and tranny will be compatible with my Volvo? I hate to scrap her for parts as she only has 110k miles and is really clean. Just this stupid tranny issue.

I think I have all the parts for the manual conversion. I am sure I am missing a few things. Does anyone know who in the Portland area, rents or loans a dual mass clutch install tool? I know it needs to be preloaded, but I can't seem to find the tool anywhere.
