Putting a manual in an auto?
Full wiring harness,ECU,pedal box,Brake master cylinder-its the fluid supply for the clutch master cyl,gear shift linkages/cables
The interior harness will need to be changed due to the inhibitor switch for the auto
You will need to do some coolant hose modifications also as there is a little water/oil heat exchanger on the auto
If you have got both cars sitting side by side obviously it will be easy while swapping stuff over

Big job all the same,Good luck.

Seems like a lot of work for little gain?

Then
Don't forget
Once you swapped out the manual tranny to an CVT you also lose power cos the ECU needs to reduce it as to not destroy the tranny
All up
A massive step backwards

However
If your going from a CVT to a manual then good on you
You get away from the power robbing CVT and you can shove some decent power down its neck
You can also replace the open diff in the Manual for a Quaife ATB LSD , they are oh so worth their weight in gold
