says there is one. you wil want new flywheel and transmission bolts just to be safe and a manual spigot. make sure there is a yoke. just use the checklist in the auto / manual thread when you go to pick up to ensure what the seller says is 'complete' is actually complete.

EFF EFF ESS http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=74074 That eBay auction does not include the 3EM ECU, manual trim surround, manual wiring loom, I can't see the shift fork or shift fork boot, throwout bearing, and you will need to purchase a new manual spigot bush. You'd also be wanting to ensure that it comes with the flywheel bolts (as auto torque converter bolts are NOT suitable) and 2L of gearbox oil. airbagsVL, it helps to read the description in the auction: "all parts included Tailshaft nuts & bolts".

You told him you need a manual ecu and manual wiring loom, the auto ecu and auto wiring loom will work just fine.
