other than the obvious you will need flywheel clutch disc and pressure plate for your engine cross member clutch linkage cross bar and pedels

do comets require trans hump changes when you do that??

You would need a 4 speed trans. hump.

Why do you have to change the trans hump?

the position of the shifter holes in the floor are different. The manual cars and the automatic cars are very different.

Along with the pedals, I believe I have a steering column that I am willing to unload. If you're interested that is...
