Interior shift plate, hydraulic's, just go to the dealer and buy the hydraulic's you will get the slave, the lines and the resevoir already filled and bled, it's the best way to go. The T5 and the auto take a different TQ arm mount. Also pull back the carpet, on mine the padding was actually marked where the firewall needs to be drilled for the slave cyl. Can't remember what else It's been over 5 years since I did mine. Real easy, I drove three hours to pick up my parts in the morning, three hours back, and drove it out of the garage the same night! I got a whole swap kit from hawk's even got a good clutch that I'm still launchin at 4K with no problems. Won't say how much for the whole kit I thought then it was cheap then and looking back now it was rediculously cheap! Good Luck and enjoy!
