Did the transmission have any problems before you swapped everything?

There are a couple good write ups for doing a manual swap. I did one on my dads 4 cylinder vert. Really ain't that bad, just make sure you have everything when you get started lol.

WestCoastFords.com

That is the write up I used, pretty thorough and covered pretty much everything.
