So... long story short my friend Ethan moved back to Florida from NY and left his stick shift Saturn up there (his first car, we all had a love affair with that little turd). He bought a 2008 Honda Fit sport edition and loves it, and honestly after driving it and being around it I can vouch for that generation of Fit as being a really neat car.
He wants to do a manual swap. And inb4 the "why not just buy a manual fit" comments, he likes this motor/car a lot. It only has 100k on the motor and the car is clean inside and out, it even has a "blackberry" factory color that is a really nice blackish blue purple kind of thing and I haven't really seen that color anywhere else.
SO. If he were to do the swap (which I would end up helping him do no doubt) I have some parts figured out
Manual trans
Flywheel
Clutch kit
Shifter linkage
Manual Oil pan
Manual ECU
Wiring harness (?)
Manual transmission mount
Anything I'm forgetting? I've been trying to find threads and it mostly seems to be a pipe dream swap. I'm sure it could be done but there's just not a lot of manual fit's in the area, especially in as good condition as his
