Difficulty of a 5 speed swap

[Kraig]

First off, this is my first post here.

I'm looking for a Festiva or Aspire (I'm partial to Fords) as a daily driver. I have the opportunity to but an automatic festiva that is in good condition, only I want a 5 speed. How difficult is this swap in one of these cars? Is it worth the effort or should I keep looking for a 5 speed car (I can't seem to find one in the area)?

I'd keep looking. You would need to find an 5 speed parts car. If you have access to a junkyard with festivas and are able to do the task then give it a try.

You'll need the tranny, pedals, clutch cable, flywheel, both half shafts, shifter, starter. I may have missed a few things.
