There's a lot more to swapping in a manual in place of an auto.
You will need:
-Transmission, duh.
-Shifter and linkage.
-Manual transmission mount.
-Clutch master cylinder (CMC), reservoir, and slave cylinder (CSC).
-Clutch pedal assembly, and manual transmission brake pedal assembly.
-Flywheel (as opposed to a flexplate in an auto).
-Clutch, duh.
-Some sort of fluid line from the CMC to the CSC.
-Manual ECU (match it to your engine, whatever it is).
--I'm not sure how it is in the D-series ECUs, but in the B18B1 automatic ECU, there is a resistor that you desolder and remove and it becomes a manual ECU. I'd be arsed to remember which resistor it is.
-Manual center console.
-Manual cluster if you want to complete the look.
And about a week or so to do the swap...
