i just finished my manual swap and i had a hard time getting the information i needed to do the swap, but now that im done i thought that i would put it out there.
what you will need.
clutch pedal assy, about ($100 ford) you could get this from the junk yard.
clutch master cylinder. (napa)
clutch hydraulic line (master to slave cylinder) (napa)
clutch slave cylinder (napa) comes with throughout bearing
pressure plate and clutch (napa) you could junk yard this but mind as well put a new clutch in. if you go with napa it comes with a new pilot bearing, throughout bearing clutch and pressure plate.
fly wheel (got mine from the junk yard junk yard) $25
the plate that goes between the engine and the flywheel. (the plate that is used with the auto trans will rub against the flywheel)
manual trans, i got mine from the junk yard out of a 92 ford ranger. it is highly recommended to replace the bushings and seal at the top for the tranny at the shifter. you can buy 2 top bushings and tap the pin out that holds the bottom bushing to save you time and money. they are the same bushings, ford will try to sell you the whole top of the tranny for about 80 bucks to get the bottom bushing. also make sure you get a tranny out of a 4x4 if you have a 4x4. so your transfer case will bolt up.
you will have to modify, remove, or replace your center console.
you will have just enough room to fit the clutch pedal in. its a bit of a pane, but it fits. there is a shift cable mount for the auto that might even rub the clutch pedal it is so close, but mine fit and works without rubbing.
everything bolts in without modification, i had an issue with my starter being too close to the flywheel, i used washers to space it out away from the flywheel.
you will need brake fluid for your clutch line and everything. look on youtube for bleeding procedures.
i have the 4.0l in my explorer, im not sure if different engines have different bolt patterns, i just made sure that the truck i pulled it out of also had a 4.0.
this is a really fast wright up, so if i left anything out, please let me know. i didn't take pictures because i was trying to get my car back on the road. i would love to answer any questions if any one is doing or wanting to do the swap.
