* Clutch switch (for cruise control) and connector pigtail * Clutch switch (for starter interlock) and connector pigtail * ECM terminals to add VSS signal/clutch signal to ECM (more on this later)
* Downpipe gasket and exhaust sleeve (if yours if rusty) the downpipe will need to be removed to replace the auto shift linkage to manual * Passenger side heat shield/bolts for axle if you're like me and want it to look OE. * Clutch pedal assembly (with bracket to connect the assembly to the brake pedal/gas pedal cluster) with nuts (M8) and clutch pedal return spring/stopper * Manual brake pedal (and special tool to disconnect the brake booster rod from it) * Manual P/S high pressure line (could be done without but would look/fit like poo) and oil * Master and slave cylinder and line along with rubber hose from brake master to clutch master * rubber caps to cancel off the transmission oil cooler ports on the cylinder head and coolant pipe * All bolts for manual transmission bellhousing including starter bolts (all different on a PD 5 speed auto - some might be the same on an ALH) * Manual transmission reverse switch and pigtail * Manual transmission VSS (vehicle speed sensor) sensor and pigtail * Manual transmission bracket to mount and bolts * Manual starter and preferably starter to battery wire * Manual transmission with matching shift linkage
* VCDS/VAGCom to recode/diagnose the install The list below could apply to ALH cars also BTW. This isn't meant to be a How-To because I don't think this is really a DIY swap (although I'm sure the more hands on of you could do it hands down with a bit of time) but I just did one of these and I wanted to report on the things to watch out for and to let you know what was involved.Ĭar was a 2006 MK4 Golf TDI PD with a 5 speed automatic and ESP ABS (which is rare), was converted to manual.
