Not sure you'd need ECU wiring but I do seem to remember having to source an alternator loom from a manual, original can probably be modified.

Also think you only need the front half of the prop. Starter should be the same as auto (I think).

A clutch may help as well ;)

There are a couple of plates between the engine and bell housing on the TT, not sure if needed for NA

You're also going to need the manual shifter surround and boot.

 

I assume by prop you mean drive shaft, you only need the front half, as thats the only difference between auto and manual (rear half changes between n/a and TT) ideally you want both pieces so they are balanced to match, if you do that you're going to need a manual n/a shaft, if not you will need to get the shaft professionally balanced which can be a pretty hefty amount.

Hmm..strange, I remember going to great trouble (and expense) to get one from the states as there were none available from breakers in the UK at the time. Not sure what the reason for the swap was as I didn't do the work myself.

At least it's hopefully a requirement to cross off the list...

Cheers

I assume by prop you mean drive shaft,

 

 

In the UK the propeller shaft is the longitudinal shaft designed to deliver power from an engine/transmission to the other end of the vehicle before it goes to the wheels. The driveshafts or 'half shafts' transmit the power to the wheels. :cool2:
