lots of tranny swap questions (5sfe) 5spd, 5SFE TRANNY GUYS HELP PLEASE Options

[Akimbo]

The relay that is behind the right kick panel, it's black, it has 10 amp fuse is that the clutch release relay? If it isn't where is it? Also do I NEED it for my auto to manual swap?
Where's the cruise relay? How do i make that work in an auto to manual swap?
I need to connect the backup light somehow too, how can I do that? I don't have that relay or plug or whatever for a 5 speed...

My mechanic said this I quote: "do we need to connect the yellow and black and the white and black as the neutral start switch?"

help! i need my car back

don't mean to jack this thread.. but i'm just wondering... if you have an auto GT and you do a manual swap.. is it as hard as swapping in a new engine?
cause i'm just wondering should i buy an auto car and get the swap done since the autos are more common...

if you plan to do an engine swap later... and you needa swap transmission anyway would it be better to just get a normal gt transmission or another one? (not sure if there is one that fits both a 5sfe and a 3sgte)

No swapping an auto to a manual is really easy to do. It just seems complicated, basically its the same thing as taking doing a clutch replacement, you just have to add a few things like a pedal, clutch master cylinder, slave, and tubing. Splice 2 wires together if you dont want a netrual safety switch, change your shifter and put the shift cables in and your done. And yea you can use the gt tranny for the 3s swap, but you cant use the gt tranny if you have an st.
