im asuming that your car is auto if it is then you would save yourself alot of time and money and sell both the cars you have now and buy a good 5 speed. if your mecanicly minded and have lots of time you can do the swap you would need to keep all the parts from the peddle asemply under the dash (cables or hidrolic clutch) the motor would be ok but you would have to change every thing after that tranny and linkage. and make sure you keep the parts car till you are done the swap so you have all the things you need from it. hope this helps
