Tranny Swap--> Am I missing Something

Ok, Finally gatehered all my parts and the car is getting ready to go to the shop next week. Am I missing anything?

I have an '06 IX MR that is getting swapped to a 5 speed. I have a 5 speed tranny from Shep, as well as Redline LW Shock Proof Although I may go with Motul), and his conversion kit. Kit includes mounts, wiriing harness, shifter , shifter linkage, shifter bushings, shifter base, etc...
I have a Carbonetic Twin Plate and the flywheel, as well as the TOB included with the kit. Also picked up a SS Clutch Line and a Three Speed ScatterShield. I even spoiled myself to a MOMO Air Leather Shift Knob

So, am I missing anything? Would I need to replace the OEM Slave Cylinder(car has just under 20k miles)? Do I need to pick up one of these http://lancershop.com/customer/produ...9&cat=6&page=1 ?

Any comments, opinions, and suggestions welcome!

Thanks Guys




Nick

I think you're all set, you don't need that piece from lancer shop.

just curious, what happened to the 6 speed? Im on the hunt for an MR, but considering all the bad Ive heard, I might be looking for a IX GSR/SSL or SE version instead.

If you want to upgrade down the line, stay with the 5spd. A five speed is just plain stronger and upgradeable. Something let loose in my tranny, I believe I stripped some syncro's, we'll see when it comes out

PM me if you have any questions

I don't think so. Do you feel that the one in your car now is about to go or something? All you need is the kit that you have and teh 5 speed transmission.
