I have a really nice '98 base that is my DD. Originally bought it just for the engine and trans for my SPB, but after repairing it, decided to drive it ('98 project car). Well, I now want the engine and trans so I bought a crashed '01 S. I would like to transfer both the engine and 6 speed trans to the '98 base. I think I have a handle on the engine swap, but am wondering about the trans swap. After reading a bit, it seems that I need (stolen from another thread)

"1. Both carriers, bearings, hubs, rotors and calipers. (same brake pads)
2. Both transmission mounts
3. Both axles and axle bolts
4. Clutch disc and pressure plate.
5. Shift cable set.
6. A transmission"

Is that it? I have all of those parts from the crashed '01. Is there anything that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Tim
